Honestly the only fantasy romance book you need on your 2026 tbr. Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A Parker has set a new standard for dragon rider romantasy. #bookreview #fantasybooktok #dragonrider #bestbooks #fivestarbooks

6/29 Edited to

If you’re a fan of high fantasy and romance, especially stories featuring dragon riders, Ballad of Falling Dragons is an exceptional addition to your reading list. What sets this book apart is its immersive world-building combined with intense character development that brings both the fantasy elements and romantic plot to life. Reading this novel felt like stepping into a vivid realm where dragons aren’t just mythical creatures but integral parts of the story’s heart and conflict. The romance is woven seamlessly into the epic scale of the narrative, making it neither overshadowed by adventure nor too focused solely on the romantic angle. An aspect that truly impressed me was how the author balanced complex themes like war, famine, and survival, without losing the emotional core between the characters. I appreciated the spoiler-free approach to the review because the story’s surprises and character arcs deserve to be experienced fully. For readers looking for a fantastical escape with strong romantic elements, and who enjoy titles recommended alongside works by authors like R. F. Kuang, this book is a must-have. It not only meets the expectations for an engaging dragon rider tale but also raises the bar for romantasy in contemporary fantasy literature. If you’re curating your 2026 to-be-read list and crave a unique blend of fantasy, romance, and dragons, Ballad of Falling Dragons offers a fresh, five-star-worthy journey you won’t want to miss.

This is one of the cheapest makeup powders I have ever tried, and I honestly have mixed feelings about it. It has a weird odor to it that you have to get used to if you wanna use it for everyday makeup. I have noticed with my under eyes that it does cake and crease, which I cannot get it to stop. T
