Emotional but beautiful story
The prequel to Max and Chloe's adventures, this one's a heart wrenched. It gives more depth to the first game as you realise the depth of Chloe and Rachel's relationship.

My favourite soundtrack of all the games so far, the band Daughter really help tell the story. I enjoyed the journey becoming the rebel that Chloe is in the first game.

Another heart wrenching beautiful journey.

I have mixed feelings on this one, I did enjoy it but I felt that the journey could have been made shorter. This book should have been around the 300 page mark, not the 500 as I felt that the additions to the journey and the details provided were mostly not needed. That being said I loved the characters and would love to follow them into the sequel, but I am dubious due to excess info that was put into the first book.

One book that I will never tire reading
This book is one that I will always remember as one my first favorites that got me into reading fantasy. It is the only book that I have read more than a dozen times. It's a classic for a reason. The storytelling while some people say is over-descriptive will never get old to me. The journey of a young hobbit on an unforgettable journey is something that inspires myself and many others. The tale makes me wish I lived in a simpler time without the hustle and bustle of cities. It is greatly inspiring and makes me want to go on a journey of my own. It will always resonate within me. I recommend it to everyone I talk to about books.

Modern Epic Series starter
This is the first book of Goodkind's epic series. He's rather Tolkienesque in his detail but it's a beautifully written book that begins your journey into the Seeker of Truth series.
  
In this companion novel to Harold Fry, Joyce cements herself as an amazing talent. You can read my review of this novel here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/02/14/the-other-side-of-a-journey/
