This is very well written, with a fast and exciting pace, that will leave you wanting to know more about their story and the Amber Druids overall. Definitely recommended by me.

It's written extremely well from the Creena's point of view but it seems like it's lacking elsewhere, fair enough she gets shipwrecked but then next thing you know it's 2 years on from the accident and she knows all this stuff you don't find out how she's made her discoveries. It would have made for a more interesting read I personally think to know how she came about being able to do the things she did.
The ending is also very sudden it's almost like you're running and then smack into a wall that kind of feeling. I was ready for another chapter or an epilogue or something, not just that's it, we're done.
It's an okay read.

here, we have Tom Cruise's superspy Ethan Hunt on the run and trying to clear his name after being framed for the murder of his entire team (during the bravura opening section), a task that involves the now-iconic 'dangling-form-the-wires' scene when he (and the new team he puts together) has to break into the CIA headquarters in Langley to steal some data - a masterclass in suspense.
Yes, it has aged slightly (it is over 25 years old now, remember!), but still holds up surprisingly well!

This book is so well written that I forgot I was reading about an actual murder. The trauma and turmoil that the people Joan left behind go through is heart-breaking, to never know what happened must play on their minds everyday. I know it would mine.
I found that everything flowed through so smoothly and calmly considering the chaos that is being described. A lot of research has gone in to find as many facts as possible and to keep to the truth without too much of a dramatic flair and fabrication.
I would definitely recommend this book for any body who likes to read true crime.

A well written story set in the 1400's, recounted by Samuel, the court jester. Samuel is likeable, fun and it's heartwarming to see him learn a new skill that helps him to follow a dream.
Being a jester has its advantages, not only did it gain him favour with the King, leading to working in the castle but it earned him the trust and confidence of many. With this trust he's able to weave a rich tapestry of stories together, tales of love and hope, hardships and tragedy.
A truly beautiful, heartwarming and haunting read that gives you food for thought.
I would definitely recommend this for the romantic reader, the reader that enjoys a historical background and anyone that is in a book group - it's an absolute must!
