Wren and the Tarnished Tiger by E. M. Leander

A thrilling, evocative story with aspects of fantasy, romance, and adventure, The Wren and the Tarnished Tiger is a must-read. In the book, an orphaned lighthouse keeper named Wren lives a predictable life until the effects of war upend it and throw him into an unknown and perilous situation. The surprising alliance between Wren and Alice, a lineal descendant of the renowned animal movers the Shields, is what distinguishes this tale.

The personalities of the two major protagonists in this novel are its main draw. Other people don’t truly matter. The conclusion of their courtship is not a spoiler because it is evident from the start that there is a magnetic attraction between them. There is never any mistake about the magical connection between them despite the fascinating turns their relationship takes as wrought by their personalities.

The book’s first half successfully navigates through the various layers of conflict we typically see in a well-written novel, but as we keep reading, we notice a flaw in the outside danger. About three-quarters of the way through one of these stories, the initial conflicts, such as the hero being uprooted from her home, the rivalry among the students at the magic school, the perils of traveling to the capital city, and the like, start to lose their appeal.
