Impossible Creatures book review

I am a massive Katherine Rundell fan and have been for years so when she announced a new fantasy series I was so excited because I have not had new Katherine Rundell to read for I want to say 3 years and this didn't let me down.

I love fantasy, great characters and adventure so this had so many reasons that I would love it which is exactly what I did, love it. I started it a few months back and was planning on reading it with someone but that didn't quite work out and I hadn't gotten around to picking it back up however when I did pick it back up I was hooked and desperate to find out what was going to happen.

Christopher was a great character that I loved following and exploring a new world with. His reactions to the creatures and the questions he asked about them were the exact questions that I wanted to ask to learn more about these animals. The concept was a really intriguing one that has me really interested in the rest of the series that is yet to be released.

I also loved reading about Mal the girl with the flying coat and who she is because there is much more to learn about than originally meets the eye. She's a fun character who is very likeable with strong feelings and a child with passions that you can't help but support, she doesn't let anyone stop her and won't do anything unless she wants to.

The rest of the crew were all also characters who I really liked and wanted the best for every single character on that boat. I hope that as we continue the series we get to see more of these characters.

The adventure was also great and I loved exploring all the different islands and what they are unique for. Mal and Christopher made a great team that cared and worked together using both of their strengths.

A book that did not disappoint and I cannot recommend more. Looking forward to book 2 whenever it is released.

The Match book review

Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it. The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family. This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark. Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship. This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh. Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here . The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out. Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
