I recently got the book Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul from Waterbrook Press (I was thrilled to find out that they just started a blogging-for-books program! Link here.). And I?m supposed to say specifically that I got this book for free in exchange for a review. Blah-blah-blah. Yeah. So. Let?s move on to the review, shall we?
Simply put: I loved this book. This is Mrs. Paul?s first foray into non-dragon territory, though mentions of fairies and magic do pepper through the narrative. I personally think she?s done a wonderful job, and?while I adore her Dragon Keeper Chronicles and the new Dragons of Chiril series?it was nice to see that she?s not a one-hit-wonder.
The story of Two Tickets centers around Cora Crowder and her boss, Simon Derrick. Having worked together for five years, they?ve never actually ?met? until one cold night when they both happen to be shopping in the same obscure bookshop on the mysteriously hard to find Sage Street. Through a series of ?coincidences?, the two end up both going to the Wizards? Christmas Ball; an old-fashioned dress-up ball that seems to have a very exclusive advertising campaign.
I won?t tell you any more, because it?s a delightful read to discover for yourself. This book had me laughing, reading bits of dialog out loud to my family and friends (they got a bit annoyed??Would you just finish it already so I can read it for myself?? my sister demanded) and when I closed the last page, I heaved a great sigh of satisfaction.
Two Tickets had a sweet, light-hearted approach to things. It?s funny. It?s realistic (except, unfortunately, for the Christmas Ball part. In real life, you don?t get mysterious tickets to a mysterious ball and buy your costume from to mysteriously sweet old ladies, and get to go with a tall, dark and handsome man that you really, really like. Usually, anyway.) Anyway, if you?re looking for a last minute gift for someone, this romantic comedy with a light sprinkle of magic is a great present. I loved this book and can?t recommend it highly enough.
Five shining Christmas quills from the Brownie, and thanks to Mrs. Paul for a delightful holiday read.
