REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review 
Part of the high-definition "Discoveries America National Parks" video essay series (each of which is available in both DVD and Blu-ray), Discoveries America National Parks: Washington D.C. is a beautiful tour of dozens of notable locations in America's capitol city.

Locations surveyed include the Theodore Roosevelt Island Memorial, the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site to the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, multiple departments of the Smithsonian Institution, and much more. Striking footage and educational narration make Discoveries... America National Parks: Washington D.C. especially appealing to public and school library DVD collections as well as armchair travelers! 50 min. 

REVIEW: Booklist
The Washington, D.C., area draws millions of visitors annually. This well-organized program, from the ongoing Discoveries . . . America National Parks series, samples famous sites that are part of the National Park Service, with voice-over narration adding architectural information, historical facts, and other tidbits. The tour begins with the Capitol Building before moving on to the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial.

Tributes to WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans are also visited, as are the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Smithsonian Institution, and National Archives Building. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Arlington National Cemetery, in Virginia, is also featured. Although not intended as in-depth coverage, this is a good introduction to more than 65 attractions in and around the D.C. area. Another new series title is San Francisco Bay Area National Parks.

REVIEW: Video Librarian 
The latest entry in filmmakers Jim and Kelly Watt’s high-def filmed Discoveries…America National Parks series explores the many monuments and other points-of-interest in Washington, D.C., beginning at the National Mall, which is surrounded by memorials and offers a grand view of the U.S. Capitol building. Viewers get close-up looks at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial (with its various fountains of increasingly complex design), and the relatively new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, featuring a breathtaking marble sculpture of King emerging from a mountaintop.

The program also visits Ford’s Theatre, which has many displays concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and takes a peek at other Lincoln-esque exhibits. Memorial tributes to America’s various wars are also included here, as are glimpses inside the Clara Barton and Frederick Douglass National Historic Sites. And a fair amount of time is spent at the Smithsonian Institution, with its departments dedicated to the American Indian, space and science, Asian art, and so much else. A most welcome addition to travel collections, this is highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.
