Sohng: Prisoner of fate ( Tales of Arca book 1)
By P.H. Hardy

Forever a prisoner, and the only way out is death!
When a young prisoner of Lockhold, opens his eyes in the outside world, he is immediately ostracised by those who saved him from a fate worse than death. Sohng must learn of the world of Arca, and all its dangers, while discovering one of many secrets that places a unique and invaluable price upon his head. When Sohng disappears, some will risk everything to save him from the comfort and the splendour in which he is confined. When all those close to his heart, are faced by the flames of their final breath, Sohng must embrace his haunting fate and uncover the mystery of his past. Only then can he save them, and give Arca any hope of avoiding the coming age of eternal darkness.

What a strange little book! I am so undecided on if I enjoyed it or not! It was a little confused in parts and a few inconsistencies but still an intriguing book! I can see where the author is trying to world-build but not sure if I find it quite rushed! Despite everything I will continue to book 2!

A different kind of love story

Contains spoilers, click to show

Is it possible to have a relationship with someone if neither of you are allowed to kiss or be near each other? Well that's exactly the kind of relationship that will and Stella have. Having cystic fibrosis means that will and Stella are are not allowed within 6 feet of each other (yes, 6 feet not 5 as the title suggests) incase they catch each others bacteria, as if they do the consequences could be dire. It's not a typical kind of relationship but they make it work.
The movie has many highs but also many lows, including a death of a character. I won't say who it is to avoid spoilers but I will say it's a death I predicted would happen, what I wasn't prepared for was how sad it would be and as I was watching it with my husband in the same room I had to fight ugly crying so bad! In fact there are a number of emotional scenes so definitely have plenty of tissues to end.
The ending feels like a kick in the teeth though because........... You know what? You'll have to watch it and see for yourself.
