Valiant Miniature Kit# 9792 - British Paratroopers Officer Arnhem 1944. it is interesting to note that some of the most inspiring feats in military history are those in which the tactical or strategic objectives failed to be achieved. The Battle Honour ARNHEM, for example, ranks above all others in the Parachute Regiment, in spite of the fact that the operation was a failure. The original plan was to drop a substantial airborne force behind the German lines to seize the vital Rhine delta bridges at Arnhem and Nijmegen, and then to effect a link-up with tank forces on the ground. The landings took place on September 17, 1944 and went according to plan, but the ensuing link-up did not. Two SS Panzer Divisions suddenly materialized in the area, and the paratroopers soon found themselves fighting for their lives. For ten days they held out under appalling conditions along an ever-shrinking perimeter, but by then it had become clear that bridgehead could no longer be held, and the embattled survivors were ordered to break out. Casualties were extremely heavy; of the 10,000 paratroopers and glider pilots who had landed, barely 2,000 finally managed to reach their own lines. This item is an unpainted and unassembled white metal (lead free) hobby kits in the 54mm International collectors scale. Standing Figures in this scale measure Approximately 2-1/2" to 3". Kit is recommended for ages 8+ Artist Credits – Sculpted By Stafford Rolph (Jarbo) / Painted Master By Sheperd Paine |

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!
