The Little Cottage In Lantern Square by Helen Rolfe

Lantern Square feels like a place where not only can you find great people to be around, but also be open to so many different possibilities. It is clear that our protagonist, Hannah, feels the same way after moving to the Little Cottage after having quite an interesting history.

I found this book thoroughly enjoyable. There is no other way I can put it. Yes, there were occasions where I wasn't able to follow along properly. I'm not sure whether it was the style of the writing or simply my own fault. But the heart of the book was truly good. It had a main character who was clearly real and has some interesting and mysterious plot details which if you get further enough along, you can't help but continue on the journey.

I think that the only way I can really describe this book is like a warm hot chocolate with a toasty blanket by the fireplace. It's definitely one of those which you would without a doubt read during those cold winter nights. It has that true community feel that can be expressed with the idea that sometimes the people round us can be our family as well and relationships with people are not always clear-cut. But that is okay. Like this book, we all need a little time to figure out what is good and what is bad for us. It's the journey that only truly matters in life.

There are great characters in this book, Rhys, Mr. G, Dr. Joe and so on are just people I wish that I could meet in real life. They seem an interesting bunch who I would love to just sit down and talk about their stories. Especially Mr. G the cheeky elderly man with a heart of gold.

Would I say read this? Definitely. Would I say that it has faults? Yes, but not as bad and easily looked over compared to some books I've read in the past. Probably one of the better books that I have read throughout my lifetime. So I guess on this occasion I am going to award this read 4.5 stars.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

This has been a long time in the making, but here it is. A court of Mist and Fury. I think that there is now the time to definitely say something about this, especially when the next book has already come out in the series. I genuinely do love this book. I think that it is much better than the first one in the series. This is mainly because of that in which the new characters are far more likeable, and those who we had been introduced to previously have been developed. For example, with Rhysand, I have found to be far more complicated than what had already been shown in the first book. In fact, I don't think that the first book did any justice for him. In any sort of perspective. However, it has also identified that Tamlin is not all that he seems, very annoying more than anything. I think however, that it is more due to the fact of that in which it feels like it was a waste to have a whole book with him in, now that the story has developed. In this next instalment, it carr...

The Crown by Kiera Cass

It is sad you know? Seeing this all coming to an end. However, if you think about it, it won't be a complete end until i read the 'Happily Ever After' book, which has some small novellas that focus on the series. Although, i do feel that i don't really want to read it just yet as it means that it would have officially ended then for me, after all of these years. If you had been with me from the very start, my first post was actually a review of the first three books of the series. Everything seems to have changed drastically since then. If i am being totally honest, when first laying my eyes of the final cover of the selection series, may have been a little bit judgemental. Not only because of the fact that i felt, not only is it very predictable, but it would have been nice to have colours that symbolise both femminity as well as leadership. Which when looking at this at first, it makes me think of 'primary' colours that everyone uses for girls, when...
