The Daughters of Ironbridge ( Ironbridge Saga book 1)
By Mollie Walton
Anny Woodvine's family has worked at the ironworks for as long as she can remember. The brightest child in her road, Anny has big dreams. So, when she is asked to run messages for the King family, she grabs the opportunity with both hands.
Margaret King is surrounded by privilege and wealth. But behind closed doors, nothing is what it seems. When Anny arrives, Margaret finds her first ally and friend. Together they plan to change their lives.
But as disaster looms over the ironworks, Margaret and Anny find themselves surrounded by secrets and betrayal. Can they hold true to each other and overcome their fate? Or are they destined to repeat the mistakes of the past?
It was exactly as I thought it would be! I really enjoyed this story. I absolutely adore Ironbridge it holds a special place in me and I have so many fond memories of visiting! I love stories based around local history and places! Looking forward to reading more and hoping Anny gets that happy ending! X

Everything that makes A New Hope so enjoyable is present and correct in TESB, but bigger and better in everyway.
All of the main characters are charming - it's easy to see why they have such a cult following.
The second time around, were given much more back story to already established characters (including the infamous mother of all twists), and we're introduced to new characters, such as Lando, Yoda, and Boba Fett, who all quickly became fan favourites.
We're also introduced to new locations, showing off gorgeous cinematography at every opportunity - places like Bespin, and Hoth (where one of my favourite set pieces of the whole saga takes place).
John Williams score is once again flawless, easily one of the best movie scores of all time.
The movie also ends on a huge cliffhanger, and no matter how many times I see TESB, I'm always ready to move on to the next chapter immediately.
It's a timeless classic.
