Synopsis –

Tristan Mulberry has a very unusual job. As a Majesteria Handler at Teakley Academy his duties include collecting Starlight, editing magical texts and procuring large amounts of cheese and pastries for the Majesteria, a trio of mice with extraordinary magical powers.

When the Majesteria are entrusted with a secret mission to bring the Royal Cinderflower to the Queen’s Coronation by pirate ship, Tristan (a passionate fan of pirate romance novels) joins them on a seafaring adventure full of sea shanties, billowing blouses, moonlit kisses, sea serpents and a rather unreasonable amount of cheese.

Thoughts –

Tristan and the Majesteria is a wonderfully whimsical story that captured my attention from the first page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! And who doesn’t LOVE pirates?!

Corwynn Rosewood does a fantastic job of creating lovable characters – there isn’t a single character I didn’t like – well, except for Blanchard and Mad Richard that is. I really enjoyed seeing Tristan’s character evolution from scholar to rider of the waves.

The world that Corwynn has created is so imaginative. I love the idea of magic coming from star light. This originality really sets this story apart from others of its kind.

This book made me so happy while reading it, and made me laugh throughout. I loved the banter and love shown by the characters. It’s a true representation of how acceptance and love can help you overcome strife.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It is a perfect read for those looking for a truly whimsical tale filled with magic and pirates.
