The Paris Express follows the journey of the Paris Express train in 1895, and I’ll be honest, it was far more interesting than I thought it was going to be! If you’re one of those people (like me!) who enjoys people-watching on public transport, then you’ll enjoy this. Loads of observations of the passengers, insights into their lives, as well as the build up to the crash at Paris (which actually happened, by the way). At one point, I wasn’t sure if it would actually end with a crash – or a far more dramatic end. This was a great listen.

Today is the Book Birthday of SLIPPERS AND SONGS.

I still remember the moment Tesni’s voice became clear to me, not as a fairytale prize, but as a young woman determined to define herself even within the confines of a curse. Her journey through the Otherworld, her encounters with Taliesin, and Brenin’s steady devotion remain very dear to my heart.

If you have ever felt confined by expectation, this story may resonate more than you think.

The Book Birthday Sale runs until 18 February at most major retailers, apart from Amazon.

A good solid start to a series
Contains spoilers, click to show
The Aliomenti village is in ruins, destroyed by one of their own, its population nearly eliminated in the calamity. From the ruins, the Aliomenti rise to international prominence, influencing buyers and sellers, warriors and bureaucrats, as they patiently and invisibly expand their empire.

Will Stark serves as the driving force loop behind that expansion. Whether he's directly creating their innovations or offering subtle hints to others, few of their revolutionary progressions are made without his influence.

But Will is dealing with his own private heartache. Even as he watches his fellow Aliomenti ascend to heights few of them imagined possible, his long journey becomes one he'll make very much alone. He's also haunted by the knowledge that what enables him to make that journey will also prevent him from seeing his most important mission to its completion.

Will must persevere, fighting through his own gloom, an organization that threatens to tear itself apart, and a reunion with old friends at a most inopportune time. And he'll come to realize that his own decisions, his own inability to understand even those he knows not to trust, have enabled a tyrant to seize control of the Aliomenti in the aftermath of an explosive crisis.


Having gotten to book 3 I'm a confused still as to whether it's sci-fi or supernatural or maybe a little bit of both. I'm enjoying this serious either way I love the dynamic of all the characters we come across. Watching Will jump Through so much to save his family while still helping to build the one thing he ultimately wants to destroy. All 3 books flow nicely into each other and I'm looking forward to finding out what has happened to Eve and what will become of the villages now Will has been kicked out! Also as will and Hope sail into the distance where their journey will lead.
