This book is a magical mystery! Riggs puts just the right amount of everything into an original story! I have never before read about a plot like this (which makes it all the more spectacular.) The characters are all unique and each one brilliant. At first I thought "this is taking a bit long to get to the point." (I am one of them people that need the action to kick right off at the start) I soon discovered that this was necessary and amazing! I must insist that you (whoever is reading this) go and find yourself a copy and start to read immediately (or at least as soon as you have time.) This book has fire, flying, birds, monsters, invisible boys, and that is not even the best part (of which I can not tell!) Just writing this has made me want to go out and buy the second one again (meaning I already went out and bought it, the second, no before, I finished this amazing book!) Did I already mention the fact it is magical? Yep! Well then, I don't see what more you need! Go and get this book!

Twenty-eight and a half wishes by Denise Grover Swank
Shiver Cove part 1 tamyra by TJ Shortt
coincidence or just plain strange....
After writing The Shepherd's crown review (if it can be called a review) I clicked on the dashboard to see if anyone had read it. It was here that I noticed I have written 41 posts. The last being the end of discworld novels - The Shepherd's Crown - which just happens to be the number 41 in the discworld series. To be honest I couldn't be more thrilled (weird of me? I know) this seems fitting to me after loving the discworld for so long. Infact I don't even remember the point I was making now because my mind have gone back thinking of the amazing story. Anyway have a nice day all of you. May you make it ridiculously amazing! *waves with a slanted smile*
The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett
Tiffany Aching has big boots to fill, possibly the biggest in Pratchett's last ever Discworld novel *cries so hard* *big gaping sobs*.
The elves are back in force and every witch must and will fight to keep the peace on the disc. THERE WILL BE A RECKONING!
You know I really haven't got one thing I would change or complain about (I never have with Terry Pratchett novels) all I have to say is read it. READ THEM ALL!
I myself like to think of Terry as the Granny Weatherwax of fantasy, by that I mean I believe he is the unsaid leader of Fantasy Authors (no offence to any author/reader who don't agree.)
There is not one thing he can't make funny, not even death. That is some skill. Although sad to have read the last ever disc novel, I go forth knowing I have 41 brilliant novels on my shelves that I can pick up at anytime and know they will bring joyous laughter!
Where is Terry now? To quote You! Meow...vrywhere!
The end.

Lameness
So it turns out I'm not a very consistent person! Sorry for that....
I really, really haven't found much new fantasy that I am even remotely interested in, soooo, I have been reading alot (and I mean alot) of non fantasy (which I can hardly review about on a fantasy review blog) *sigh*. On a plus, I have just won most times fantasy has been used in one post award (I'm so very happy to win, and all that s@*t).....
Maybe I should change the name of this blog right here to 'A little bit of everything including (yep you guessed it) FANTASY!' Anyway I shall try to make it up to any might be reader. Starting first thing tomorrow! Good day to you all *waves dramatically*.

NON-FANTASY
Plus while I'm talking on my fantasy slacking I may as well add that I've also been catching up on watching what I missed of Pretty Little Liars *EKKK* (If you watch this, you will forgive me and know a must when you see one ;) ......) On a better note this week coming should see the delivery of my June batch of fantasy fill. I'll be reading a range from James Herbert's Once to Kami and Margaret's Dangerous Deception *YAAAY* (which I should of read by now in all fairness.) Anyway I hope you all have a ridiculously brilliant Sunday.........
Dancing with Cupid by Jennifer Stevenson
This is one of them silly Romance books (you know the type.) (I also mean no offence when I say that.)
Kama is the god of love (as in sex god) each month he needs to top up sex or he will spontaneously combust. (Cheesy? I know.)
Rathi is a power woman in a suit. This is his next conquest. Who also turns out to be a reincarnation of his goddess wife.
Easy readable (I mean that when I say it) it took me round about three hours in total and that was multitasking.
I would recommend this for when you've run out of things to read (no offence again, but it ain't everyone's' first choice) or if you happen to be into this kind of romance. (you'll no it by the cover, I know that sounds ridiculous by - never judge a book by it's cover standards- but these type always have a similar thing going on.)
Over all it didn't bore me but that didn't stop me from noticing every cheesy part.
What I consider 'fantasy characters' were misused for sop. Which ruined it for me. There is so much you can do with ideas. But I must admit I don't think I've read one similar to this.
So give it a read if you think you can stomach sooooo much cheddar.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Asylum by Madeleine Roux
Now my thirteen year old self would have had the hairs up on the back of her neck. She would of kept peeking up the dark passage (while reading by touch light, with the bedroom door open)
As it is, my twenty three year old self disagrees. Never mind that though, because over all I can see where she was going with this.
Basically Dan crawford goes to a summer programme at a college/old asylum.

The Curse Keepers by Denise Grover Swank
In short there is a curse. Not on Ellie. Each member of her family will know the curse. Her father passed it down to her. They are the curse keepers. There is another family who are the second. There are only two curse keepers. One from each family. When the two meet and touch the curse is lifted, the gates to hell open and with it and well work that out for yourself.....
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie is a killer for these lines to start off books. Tell me that have not got your interest, go on, I dare you!
Sean is on the beach with his father, today is race day. The beach is never safe, today it is dangerous. This is where you learn of the capiall uisce. The water horses. Deadly (meat eaters, including their riders). The men of the village race them, on race day. Sean takes to them naturally. Not that he will ride. His father rides a red stallion. Then dies by the teeth of a grey. Sean watches from the cliff.
I don't think often of my father's strung out body through the reddening surf. Instead I remember him as he was before the race: afraid. I won't make the same mistake.
