The Signed Book Shop

First the physical book is stunning! The art work on the dust jacket and the naked hardback are breathtaking. The chapter pages are gorgeous. This edition is one I am proud to have as part of my book collection. Well done on the design!

In regards to the story: This is such a fun, quick read. It's great if you need a break from heavier books (raises hand).

First, Nikolas is precious and sort of goofy. Although he comes off as not-all-that-smart sometimes, he does redeem himself over the course of the book.

Jules is full of mystery, and I wish we got to learn more about her. She's obviously very smart, and I can see why she captured Nikolas's attention.

The plot point about the birds was one of my favorite pieces of the story, and I enjoyed how it resolved. The book did leave me confused about the fae prince though... I'm still unsure why he is still so set on marrying (though perhaps this will be explained in another book?).

Overall, a sweet book that is appropriate for middle schoolers and older. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Beautiful edition with signed bookplate; book was packed with extra care and arrived in perfect condition!

Love it all!

Everything about this hardback is gorgeous!

I had so much fun reading this, it was so cute!! Within the Hollow Heart is a regency-inspired fantasy romance that's like Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle with quirky characters and laugh-out-lout-funny moments.
Every little aspect of this book spoke to me, on like, a spiritual level. It had the regency-setting of Bridgerton mixed with some fairytale elements like enchanted princes and faerie curses, topped with the most loveable characters I have ever read about. 5/5 stars.

I absolutely, positively loved this book so, so much. As I sure the same goes for anyone who read this amazing story, I completely fell in LOVE with Buttons!! Oh my god, I swear I want an adorable little baby Buttons of my own. The characters were so well written, I love how adorably innocent Ryul was at times. He was such a great & charming character. Erryn was so good too, but I will say, I do wish we could have found out exactly how much older she actually was from Ryul 🤭. The two stickers that came with my order were so good, I just wish they had been a little clearer as far as the image went, so I could see Buttons, the best baby boy ever, a bit more clearly. But despite that one thing I fell in love with both of the stickers nonetheless. Loved the gorgeous page overlay so much, & the bookmark as well because of the phrase on both sides, made me laugh. I am just so happy with my order. The story is so worth the read, I can't wait to read it all over again, for the fourth time 😁. I highly recommend this amazing book bundle.

Gorgeous book with so much fun swag!

This is a fun regency historical fiction meets fantasy story that features a down on his luck lord, a cursed heroine, and a cranky bird. Nickolas has been through a lot with his meddling, demanding mother who tries to force him to marry to save their name and wealth. A chance meeting during a getaway has him making a bargain with Jules, our cursed heroine. This story is made up of such tropes as idiot to lovers, fake engagement, cursed heroine, and arranged marriage. The side characters all add to the overall story and it’s impossible to not fall in love with the judging bird!

A great continuation of a great series! Such a great series. Love, love, ❤️

I am so in love with this series! 😍 Gorgeous covers.

I am so in love with this entire series. I love the characters, so much. Each character is so fully developed. I love the world that Knorr created. It's so different from anything else I have read. It's a beautiful world, and I want to go live there and meet these characters and be friends with them.
Also the book covers and cover slips are absolutely gorgeous.
I don't want this series to end. I am going to miss everyone and this world.
Love it so much.

Cant wait to read them

What a great addition to the Starry Kingdoms Group of Novellas. Stephanie is talented and had me engaged with her retelling from start to end. Fast paced with action and romance and a good deal of "why didn't I know I needed this til now" thrown in. I can't wait to see what else she brings to the table in the future as I'm sure this won't be the last book I read from her!

Loved every bit of this mash up between the beanstalk and Samson and Delilah. I truly loved how the story came together in the end with a twist to the Samson and Delilah story I was not expecting! Thank you for your contribution to the fantasy book world. I always love reading Stephanie's stories!

I absolutely adore this book so I'm so excited to have a signed copy! The hardcover is absolutely stunning.
