What a lovely little book, fairies and friendship all combine when the wind blows up a storm leaving the fairies in trouble, happily there is one little fairy who loves the rain and is happy to welcome others and all is good in the end. As a story, this could be a great way to support little ones who find wind and heavy rain difficult to cope with or just a lovely memory for your little one to remember and keep the magic of nature alive.

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first, The Color of Magic, due to a slow start. After I got into it though, it was quite fun and enjoyable. :) I love the world Mr. Pratchett has invented, and his humor, characters, and way he writes are all wonderful!

I totally enjoyed this more this time around. I was in a totally different headspace back in 2009, plus this just hit my mood perfectly at this time.

The kiss of a princess can be a powerful tool against the forces of evil. A magic that I have never read about is weaved into this book and I could not be more impressed.
Think romance of enemies to lovers but more subtle than that. A princess who will do anything to win and a prince who doesn't want her help. Together they will argue their way to victory. You will laugh, roll your eyes, and ultimately fall for these two unlikely allies.

This is the tenth book in this series by this author. This is a second chance love story with the added festive magic. The characters are fantastic and they have plenty of chemistry between them. With this author you are always guaranteed a fantastic story. The perfect book to sit next to the fire this winter. I can't wait to read from this series and this author in the future.
Highly recommended book and series
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Great read
John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.

Good not great
The format keeps this book from being great. First person present tense, again, is terrible. But in this book it is compounded by the fact that we read from 3 people's POV. "I" means three people, depending on the chapter. That was immersion breaking and holds the book back from greatness.

Otherwise, I loved the story, the characters, the magic. It was very good, and felt shorter than it was. It read fast, it was never dull. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

Cori June (3033 KP) created a post in Theories of the World

I'm going to start on a "blanket theory".
My theory is for the fantasy/fiction genre:
I don't think anyone is legitimately dead unless one of two things happen
1. You see the dead body.
2. Two or more credible characters say that a person is actually dead.
although, there are some (like the futuristic & a few magic sub-genres) that rules 1 & 2 have to be present.
Has anyone else noticed this?
(Horror doesn't apply because they have their own set of crazy rules.)

Just finished watching just as good as the last time they were on ten years ago brilliant comedy all the actors are back fitting back perfectly into their roles and a excellent script from both Ruth Jones and James Corden what's not like. And then there's Rob bryden as uncle Byran his almost meltdown over the Christmas turkey magic. Hope they make another soon and not ten years from now due to big cliffhanger

I have not read a lot of comics. I did get very into Valerian and Laureline and the new Labyrinth comic, but both I got into because of already being a fan of the story from the movie versions. Getting into this media, both of my brother (avid comic book readers) each suggested some comics for me. My younger brother suggested saga. I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story, style, voice, magic, and characters to all work great. I will continue reading this series soon!
