Willkommen in Bad Salzuflen, einer Kurstadt im ländlichen Ostwestfalen, wo sich Mitte der 1980er Jahre die Wege von einigen unerschrockenen Jugendlichen kreuzen, die nicht länger den Erwartungen der Familientraditionen folgen wollen. Aus einer staubigen Garage heraus gründen sie das Label Fast Weltweit, träumen von Ruhm und Rebellion und entfesseln das Feuer der Leidenschaft, die die deutschsprachige Musikszene reanimiert. 'Ohne Fast Weltweit keine Hamburger Schule' - ein Satz, der den Wandel zusammenfasst, den diese verschworene Gemeinschaft herbeiführt. Frank Spilker und Jochen Distelmeyer schreiben später mit ihren Bands Die Sterne und Blumfeld Musikgeschichte. Vierzig Jahre danach unterhielt Christof Dörr sich mit Michael Girke, Bernadette Hengst, Frank Werner, Andreas Henning, Frank Spilker, Bernd Begemann, Mijk van Dijk, Achim Knorr, TT Geigenschrey, Thomas Wenzel sowie Kersty und Sandra Grether. In der vorliegenden Oral History verwebt Dörr jene Erinnerungen zu einer Geschichte über Freundschaft und die Suche nach musikalischer Identität und Kreativität, die bis heute nachwirkt. Pressestimmen: 'Wie so viele Erfolgsgeschichten beginnt auch diese in einer Garage (...) Die Garage gehört Frank Werner, und weil der auch ein Aufnahmegerät besitzt, lockt er allerhand junge Leute an, die zwei Sachen mitbringen: erstens einen Musikgeschmack, der wenig mit dem zu tun hat, was Ende der 80er im Radio läuft. Zweitens den Mut selbst Lieder zu schreiben und aufzunehmen (...) ¿Fast Weltweit¿ ist eine spannend zu lesende Oral History über eine sehr spezielle Musikclique um Frank Spilker, Jochen Distelmeyer, Bernd Begemann und Bernadette La Hengst, aus der später die HAMBURGER SCHULE hervorging.' MINT 'Die Fast Weltweit-Crew schaffte immerhin das, was so ähnlich auch in Seattle gelang: Aus einem Ort, der stets von coolen oder großen Bands gemieden wurde, die Keimzelle für eine der immer noch interessantesten Epochen in der deutschen Indie-Musik zu starten. Immerhin findet man in Provinzen schnell Leidensgenossen und Gleichgesinnte.' laut.de 'Eigentlich erzählt ¿Fast Weltweit¿ vom gleichnamigen Label aus Ostwestfalen, aus dessen Wurzeln in den Neunzigern die Hamburger Schule spross, etwa mit Bernd Begemann, Die Braut haut ins Auge, Die Sterne oder Blumfeld. Andererseits setzt Autor Christof Dörr dieses Interview-Mosaik zusammen wie einen Roman, erst Coming of Age, Abenteuer, dann Erfolgsgeschichte und zuletzt Drama und Psychogramm, durchgehend spannend, mitreißend, erhellend.' vanbauseneick.de 'Dieses neue Buch über meine Freunde, Freundinnen und mich namens ¿Fast weltweit¿ von Christof Dörr ist übrigens mehr als wunderbar. Mich bringt es zurück und euch bringt es dorthin. Wie die Musik aus den ostwestfälischen Hügeln tropfte und eine widerwillige Welt beglückte. Super unterhaltsam, Vorlage für eine akzeptable Seifenoper mit Niveau in sechs Jahren auf ZDF Neo. Große Klasse.' Bernd Begemann 'Entdeckung des Jahres' kamikaze-radio.de

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.

Not a bad start
Format: Kindle
3 stars Thank you Netgalley and Briar Boleyn for the ARC! A camelot/king Arthur retelling with fae. I was hooked by the idea of this book immediately and was eager to jump into this world. • slow burn • enemies to lovers • who did this to you Morgan Pendragon watched her mother die by her father's hand when she was just eight years old, hiding under the bed. Morgan is believed to have the tainted blood of the fae in her veins and is cast aside so that her fathers illegitimate son, Arthur, can become the king. She's seen his cruel treatment of the fae firsthand, so when he sends her on a journey to find a fae weapon she seizes the opportunity to do more with her life. Along the way, she finds more than she could have imagined. I don't know a whole lot about King Arthur and Camelot but I had a lot of fun with this story! The plot has some similar tropes to popular romantasy books (From blood and ash) but there's enough originality here that it doesn't feel like I'm reading a copy. I liked how the fae were different in appearance than what is typical in most fantasy books I've read. In this book they have blue hair, violet skin and a wide range of other characteristics. I thought that the world building was easy to follow and I could easily immerse myself into this world. After reading the blurb I kept wondering when she was going to go on the journey to find Excalibur and it doesn't happen until around the 45% mark. The story is a bit slow at times but starts to pick up once they begin their journey to find Excalibur. The John Wick style Inn was a fun concept that I enjoyed reading about. There are a lot of similarities to this and FBAA and I would have liked to have it be a little more different, but I'm hoping book two will have the story turn into something of its own. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and I'm looking forward to reading book two especially after that ending.
