Chiromancist is the eighth book in the Seven Forbidden Arts series, and we get to spend time with Bono - the wise-cracking pilot who has been there from the very beginning. Bono doesn't have an art, but he is still very much a member of the team. When they go to Amsterdam to investigate the possibility of a Chiromancist working for Godfrey, he will do what he can to help. Then he meets Sky, and he will still do what he can, but now his priorities include keeping Sky alive.

WOW!!! This book is... harsh. It is an emotional power pack that will hit you on so many levels. And I loved every moment!

We learn more about Bono, we learn about Sky, and we learn about Sky's quiet strength and determination, the things she puts up with to keep her son safe. Godfrey's big plan becomes clear, whilst Cain's ultimate motives are still as shadowed as ever. I love his character. He is working for the ultimate good, but you are never quite sure... and neither are the rest of the characters. Love it.

I could rave on and on about this book. I devoured it, loved every word, and hated every paragraph with certain characters in it with a passion. This book is exceptionally written, with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt the reading flow. You will suffer the lows whilst appreciating the highs that Charmaine Pauls gives you. Whilst you could read this as a standalone, I really can't see why you would want to - when you have seven brilliant books preceding it. Highly recommended by me.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *

The story line in this book is amazing. The twists it takes keeps you reading. I couldn't put it down. (0 more)
The only thing I can say is that the beginning drags on a bit too far. It's one of those books that you have to read for a while before you get sucked in. (0 more)
A book that keeps you guessing.
The twists and turns in this book are great! I couldn't put it down once the story got going. I would just about have it figured it out (or so I thought) and there was another plot twist. Kept me interested to the very end!!

These stories were very cute, the illustrations were wonderful, and parts of them had great messages for kids about bullying, being on earth for a reason, and responsibility. However the philosophy behind them is all wrong. The philosophy consists of “oneness with everything” and “made of the same energy” and “we are Divine presence,” and “we are truth” and “Makes no difference the religion”. It is a worldly viewpoint, and I do not come from that viewpoint.

Again, there some great messages in these books, but I personally won’t be sharing them with the children in my life because of the strength of the new-age views that shine through.

This novel sounded really good, and as an English major I thought I would like it. It started off really well; but after chapter 3 it sort of died. I felt like she was explaining her past too much, and I just wanted to move forward with the story and learn about her past little by little. I figured I'd set it down and come back to it in a few weeks with fresh eyes, but when I did I got the same feeling. I don't have the time to spend reading books I don't get hooked on. So if you don't have the patience, this one isn't for you.
