Bourne and Tributary book reviews
Title: Bourne & Tributary- Two Novellas
Series: River of Time
Author: Lisa T. Bergren
Plot: These two novellas pick up where Torrent left off.
In Bourne The Bettarrini sisters are hoping that the war will end and peace will finally come.
In Tributary Lia is suffering from PTSD. Can Lia overcome it to help her country?
What I liked about these books: It was nice to find out what Happened to Gabi and Lia after the battle at the end of Torrent. Since they are novellas ( short novels) they were really fast paced.
What I didn't like about these books: Talks of being intimate in marriage. Thankfully it didn't go into much detail.
Would I recommend them? Yes, to those who have read the other books in the series.
