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

Frostfire by Amanda Hocking

It is back to Amanda Hocking this week, with her new book that I have recently been talking about, when reviewing her other series, the Trylle Trilogy. Although, this book is now in a new series, but set in the same universe. It is called the Kanin Chronicles... I must admit, when actually owning the book, the cover is very enchanting and beautiful. How for instance, the main character and protagonist, Bryn Aven, is at the centre of attention, with her coat covered in red. Whereas in the background, it is very muted colours, with the whites and blacks, but also having a sort of wonderland type of presence. Red to me also makes me feel quite uncomfortable and moreover is a colour for danger. So, onto the criticisms then! First of all, I don't know why but I felt a little bit out of place with this new world. Maybe it is because I read the other series in the same universe, I may have gotten used to them far too much. So when there are old characters appearing and being ment

The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson

Publisher: David Fickling Books Date of Publish: January 1st 2015 Suitable for which gender: Unisex The book consists of two protagonists who are both suffering from two big secrets. There is David Piper; who wants to be a girl and Leo Denton; someone who just wants to be invisible. Somehow both of these two individuals come together and become very good friends in the process. It is really interesting as there is not much regarding the subject of the transgender community in modern YA fiction, in a way Ms Williamson has got some guts to base story around this topic. Not because it is wrong, but rather misunderstood. It has heartache and pain, as well as joy and happiness, which not only they experience, but you as well. I think that the time that it has come out is perfect, as it is an ever changing world, which has shown to become more aware of people around us and accepting everyone for who they are. We must always think about these issues like, imagine if you felt
