✨ Are you ready to journey into a world where magic and myth walk side by side, and the very air hums with ancient power? ✨

Welcome to WRAIDD ELFENNOL, a mystical island shaped and sustained by the Elements 🌍💨🔥💧, where balance is sacred, and every generation of Chosen must rise to meet challenges that test not only their strength, but their spirit.

In this young adult fantasy series, each child, upon reaching their thirteenth year, is matched with an animal Partner whose soul resonates with their own, forming a lifelong bond through which they can speak mind to mind, sharing thoughts, courage and comfort in a connection as deep as any legend.

Across shifting landscapes and ancient strongholds, quests unfold, and long-buried truths begin to stir, while elemental magic weaves through every choice, asking whether those bound by destiny are ready to restore harmony before it is lost forever.

If you were called at thirteen to stand beside your own animal Partner and defend the balance of the Elements, what creature do you think would choose you? 🐾✨

Love Forms was an enjoyable read - I liked it. It looks at the complex feelings Dawn has in the search for her daughter that she gave cup at birth. She now has two adult sons who are aware of their older sister, but Dawn still feels as though something, or someone, is missing.

She seems to have given up many things in her life all for the benefit of others. Giving up her daughter was to stop the scandal for her family; she gave up her career for the benefit of her marriage (it didn’t work) and her children. Being a doctor at the time was incompatible with motherhood for her.

This is a very melancholic read: Dawn appears to be lonely now her children have grown up and moved away. Her time is taken up with thoughts of her past, missed opportunities, and the search for her daughter. She has had failed attempts to find her daughter, and it sounds as though there were financial repercussions as well. There’s no mention of friends, as far as I can remember, just one male friend with benefits.

Should this have been on the Booker long list 2025 and now on the Women’s Prize long list? Why not, it’s an enjoyable, if rather sombre read.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
For as long as she can remember, Kylie Briscoe's been searching for the moon even though she has no idea why it soothes her. Placed in an impossible situation by her mother, Kylie cries for help. It brings rescuers and a new life, but it feels more like a death sentence when she is separated from her three-year-old sister Aliza, the only person Kylie's ever really loved.

Now she's in tiny Patience, Texas, with her eccentric potty-mouthed grandmother, ever-patient stargazing grandfather, an uncle who reminds her a lot of a cop who terrified her during a drug bust, a herd of Norwegian Dwarf goats, their "guard donkeys," and three canine roommates occupying Kylie's former nursery.

When the authorities make a mistake that could cost her everything, Kylie must decide whether to tell the truth-all of it-in order to save herself and her sister.
