Have I mentioned how much I love Fairy Tales?
Well, I really do, especially clean, romantic, mentality stimulating, and engaging ones. Beholden hits all the right notes for me. The quote I shared above sums up and yet barely scratches the surface of the emotions and actions of the characters of this book. Vilmar and Gabrilella have such care for each other and the others around them, they are tested and grow visibly as characters throughout the book. I was sad to see the story end. You have no idea how much. But I am hoping the next book in the series keeps giving my glimpses of these two wonderful characters! And lets not even start on this amazing cover!
I could rave about this book all day, but Id rather you read it to! 5 out of 5 stars for this beautiful retelling of Cinderella’s Story.

This book was so fun :)
I loved all the unique stories and the imaginary British accents in my head (Sigh..). The stories are a mix of mystery, laughter, intrigue, and faith. I truly enjoyed reading this mix of stories; plus I found some new to me authors to read! The characters in each story were engaging and I really didn't want to say goodbye to them. I loved the lessons that the characters learned and thought that they were well thought out and grew as the story progressed.
I definitely recommend reading this book (or books as its 9 different stories) at the next opportunity. I give them a 4 out of 5 stars for the diversity, the creative characters, and for giving me some truly happy smiles.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

To say this seemed like a love it or hate it book, I'm one who doesn't lean either way. I liked it but I didn't love it.
The first bit bored me, the middle bit was interesting and the end was a bit of a disappointment but considering the second part takes up most of the book, I'm giving it three stars.
I didn't like Clary either, to me she came across as really annoying and whiney--maybe it was her age--while I liked Jace from the start. Isabelle took a bit of warming up to and Alec never really said much but his actions spoke well enough for him.
It took me a long time to read this which is unusual for me with books, I normally devour them in a day or two and this took me a good weeks worth of reading or so.

I completed this expansion around five months ago, and I am still reeling over it.
I love this story so much. It really has a special place in my heart that I'm never giving up to anything else.
I even started learning Dragonsong on piano before I got to this expansion because it sounded so pretty, and now I just want to cry every time I hear it.
There are characters from this expansion that are still my favourites, and they probably always will be.
The new jobs/classes introduced in this expansion are so fun to play as well. I literally switched over to machinist as soon as I found out that I could play it.
Overall, this expansion is amazing. Please play it. Please.

A thrill a minute
I have only read one Koontz book before and that was a very early one, so didn't know what I was going to get. The blurb on the cover grabbed me which is why I had to try it and I am glad I did... I found the story well written and composed and the short paragraph blocks made it an easy read, if an unusual style... It reminded me of Richard Laymons style of writing which I really enjoy...
The plot although far fetched is enjoyable and makes you think what you would do if you were put in the same position. It is suspenseful, action packed and violent in places but you do find yourself drawn in to the situation and feel for the characters involved.
For a quick and easy read it is worth giving a go.

I think I can safely say that this book has been a hit with my children, the four year old has asked to be read it three times in a row, the six year old is now reading it for a fourth time, and both have demanded to know what Sparky does next.
Sparky is a cute purple dinosaur, learning some valuable lessons on not giving up when something is difficult, but also that sometimes the best thing to do to learn a new or difficult skill is to just have some fun. It's a lovely message for little ones, especially early in their schooling.
I've especially appreciated being able to use it as a conversation starter with the 6 year old who has some speech issues, and finds it a struggle not being quite like the other children in the class.
I would highly recommend this book.
