Very heartfelt and sad at times as some characters are leaving us in this story. Nevertheless it serves its plot and I can see why the author chose for Xingyin the right person to be with her rather than what other people expect of her. Liwei was always meant to be an Emperor and he takes his duties seriously - so the choices for each character is well done. I’m glad for Chang’e to have her hearts desire to be restored and that makes me more happy as it’s that mythology what this story is interwoven to…...more
I really enjoyed this first book in a new series by Jamie Littler. I think I liked Arkspire a bit more than the first book of Frostheart.

I really enjoyed this first book in a new series by Jamie Littler. I think I liked Arkspire a bit more than the first book of Frostheart.
I like Cinders character the best as he is from the Otherworld (spirit world?) and makes the story more interesting.
I don’t want to give spoilers but you can see from Littler’s writing that he knows what he is writing about especially in a political sense and how the poor people are being still taking advantage of by the rich people. The power structure is pretty obvious and makes me feel for the people characters living in “the dregs”. ...more

I listened to Daughter of the Moon Goddess as an audiobook by Everand. It was great and good fun. I liked the main character Xingyin. She is brave, determined and fierce. More loyal to her mum than anyone else I would say.

It’s got a cosy atmosphere with little bits of tension and suspension in it. I enjoyed all of the character’s especially Viv (our main character) who wants to restart her life by opening up a coffee shop. She sounds like she looks tough from the outside but really from the inside she has a soft heart.

I enjoyed the concept of the virtual reality with games inside it. This time there are legends in Legendarium. For me personally it wasn’t as exciting and full of adventure as the first book, where we meet many heroes like Isaac Newton and found ourselves travelling through amazing landscapes. ...more

It’s short (as it is for World Book Day) but has all the entertaining fun from the other three books.
I liked the concept of wishes having weight and that you have enough time to make your own wishes/dreams come true by taking your own action.

This makes me want to read Eva Ibbotson’s book this year before the summer is over.

l loved reading Which Way to Anywhere, which is the first book in a new series by Cressida Cowell. I enjoyed her How to Train Your Dragon and Wizards of Once series. All of them are fantastic worlds with great and interesting characters. She is one of my favourite authors.
This book starts strong and has a nice adventure journey feeling to it, which is a plus on my side. I enjoyed all of the characters and the idea of alternative atlases, the magic and other worlds. It's a great start to a new series and I'm already looking forward to the second book that is coming out this year in September!...more
