I'm on level 24 now and I absolutely enjoy this game and all the animals, new ones become available each level which is fun. I was worried I'd start playing and then not be able to get very far without spending real money on in-app purchases but it's really easy to gain coins and tickets. I wish that in addition to new animals there were new places on the map unlocked after certain levels or that locations switched the way animals do? Sometimes the animals say the same thing over and over or repeat the dialogue others use which can get sort of monotonous but it's still a lot of fun. I think more friends that played would make it more fun for me personally but even so I really enjoy it.

Enjoyable, easy read
Rich in atmosphere, characterisation and vocabulary, this historical fiction follows the character of Hester White, an 18-year-old living in squalid conditions in 19th century London. A carriage accident may well prove her salvation - passenger, the charismatic Calder Brock, seems determined to rescue her from the gutter, his sister Rebekah to be entrusted with her education.

Following closely in Sarah Waters' footsteps, this is a Victorian pastiche that returns to those perennials of murder, identity, prostitution and female survival. Carlin writes with fluency and conjures up a grim, dank, seedy London where the only sanctuary for our heroine is in female friendship

While this is an enjoyable read, it does feel more generic than original, and there are some clumsy tricks such as the extended death-bed confession/life-story at the end. Great for fans of Victoriana.

If the third of the series is my favorite, I love this novel infinitely more. I forgot what it was like to read such great literature that each pages inspires you to think and wonder. No body writes literature like this anymore, such thought provoking, enthralling books that bring you so close to the characters that you almost don't want to finish the novel for fear of losing such a friendship. You share their pains, triumphs, frustrations, and joys that it's almost heartbreaking to finish.

Taran Wanderer starts out with Taran setting out to search for his lineage so that he will have no doubts about asking Eilonway to marry him. Instead, he creates one of the greatest tales about finding ones self. If Taran existed here and now, I would demand that we be friends.
