One More Mountain

A new installment in the bestselling Breadwinner series, set in contemporary Afghanistan

It's 2021, and the Taliban have regained power in Afghanistan. Parvana and Shauzia, the brave protagonists of The Breadwinner, must now flee to escape new dangers from an old enemy.It has been 20 years since Parvana and Shauzia had to disguise themselves as boys to support themselves and their families. But when the Taliban were defeated in 2001, it looked as if Afghans could finally rebuild their country. Many things have changed for Parvana since then. She has married Asif, who she met in the desert as she searched for her family when she was a child. She runs a school for girls. She has a son, Rafi, who is about to fly to New York, where he will train to become a dancer. While Asif tries to get Parvana's sister, Maryam, and Rafi on one of the last flights out of Kabul, the Taliban come to the school, and Parvana must lead the girls out of Green Valley and into the mountains.Deborah Ellis is an award-winning author, a feminist and a peace activist who has spent a lot of time in Pakistan, in Afghan refugee camps.

'Fast-paced and gripping, the sympathetic characters show us the possibility of human kindness and bravery in even the most inhumane situations.' - Children's Books Ireland

'All girls [should read]: The Breadwinner, by Deborah Ellis [...] I think it's important for girls everywhere to learn how women are treated in some societies. But even though Parvana is treated as lesser than boys and men, she never feels that way. She believes in herself and is stronger to fight against hunger, fear and war. Girls like her are an inspiration. The Breadwinner reminds us how courageous and strong women are around the world.' - Malala Yousafzai, New York Times

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

LOVED THIS STORY!
Format: Kindle
I never wite reviews, but this book was too good for me to NOT give props and let others readers know it's such a good read. They need to make movies of this one and I can't wait until the next book comes out. The story building was so good and I loved that the main character wasn't a silly useless princess or something. Shes intelligent, strong, and loves her friends. The description of the characters is really good also and its such a good plot. Not your average paranormal romance novel of some princess or the girl working at a diner. LOL! I'm totally team Rykan for her! Fingers crossed for the next book and October 31st can't come soon enough.

Imperfect characters
Format: Kindle
4.5 stars ⭐ I don't really understand the harsh criticism in some of these reviews (Goodreads). I rarely write reviews myself, but I think this book deserves it. Look, it absolutely has its issues. I wasn't feeling it in the beginning -- the first few chapters were all tell and no show, literally just telling us all this background in a few paragraphs rather than feeding us bits and pieces at a time. The writing significantly improves after a few chapters, though. And I didn't catch any spelling or grammatical typos often found in new, self published books.  After the rough start, I absolutely flew through the rest of the book and couldn't put it down. Seriously stayed up until 2am with it. So I also don't agree with comments calling it boring. Definitely did not bore me. I thought it ticked all the right boxes: romance, fantasy, a magic system, tragedy, fate, character growth.  A lot of the poor reviews I'm seeing are in regards to the FMC's character. Personally, I like flawed characters and think it's more realistic than reading the POV of someone who always makes the right decisions, is always honest, is always selfless, etc. Humans aren't like that. Readers love when male leads are morally grey, but God forbid a woman isn't perfect.  So I like flawed characters and I like a little bit of tragedy, which the author provides. Ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the sequel next month. I really want to learn more about Malachi.  All in all, not a bad start from this author. Give it a chance. SOMEWHAT SPOILERY: I LOVE the concept of fated mates that kind of hate each other. Most books with the fated mates trope allow the characters to immediately fall for each other and get together relatively easily. But this is way more interesting ;)

what just happened
Format: Kindle
I’m not gonna lie. This story had me from the beginning. It’s something about a girl running from an obsessive stalker that happens to be set in a fantasy realm. This story had everything you could want in a great plot. I mean intrigue, politics, betrayal, murder, witches, shades, fairies, shifter, etc. My heart grieved for Dahlia and everything she went through and honestly i don’t know who to root for in this story as all the males are morally gray which I love. All have a hint of evil. Book up this book and you won’t be disappointed. Soo ready for the next book.

Beta readers, please
Format: Kindle
I haven’t written a review in a while but this one motivated me to because it had potential and with some honest beta readers correcting its nonsense, it could have been pretty good. The writing is awkward at times and the world building was slow and one dimensional until around half way through and then it got much better. The main issues are with the characters, dialogue and plot. The FMC swings from stupidly trusting her “ friends” even when she is repeatedly betrayed to hating those who betrayed her to seemingly forgetting she hated them. It’s a whirlwind that reeks of adolescent drama and doesn’t fit the plot the author was trying, I think, to execute. The ridiculous decisions the character makes are so obviously made to move the plot in the direction the author was trying to go and was so basic in plot writing it was at times like reading a teenager’s writing project. It was hard to connect to the main character and hard to like any of the others. The author has potential but it was not met in this book. I will not be reading the next and really had to push through to even finish this one.
