This story was very unique loved the characters the story and the art I love books with illustrations in them. The characters were very interesting I especially loved Opal and Arthur they had great chemistry the ending was great a wonderfully well written story. I loved Opal for her curiosity her want to make sure her brother is able to leave and have the best life possible I also loved how well she adapted to the strange goings ons at the Starling House. The plot was really interesting it had a great lyrical and whimsical with just enough creepy to give a great gothic atmosphere to the story. The story starts with Opal telling both about her life and the town and the Starling House she gets offered a job at the house finds out many things the ending was really good too.

I loved this book it was so well written it was so very good I liked the characters Alanna and Jonathon the most they were just written so well. I loved the story the way it flowed from start to finish I also liked the pacing of the story it was paced well. I liked the realism of how Alanna had to fight harder to become the knight she wants to be unlike the boys her age I liked the realism there. I really liked the relationships that developed throughout the story they were very interesting. So I would say I very much enjoyed this book and will be reading book 2 soon.

This book was amazing it added so much to the original story and it is my favorite classic
Disney Princess movie everything made more sense. I loved the characters so much especially Phillip and Briar Rose they both were developed much better their love story was more natural. I loved how Phillip's character was expanded on with how he felt about never meeting his father's expectations and how both him and Briar Rose were only extensions of their parents I really love how the change of this comes along. I loved how Phillip comes into himself fully by the end. I loved how Briar Rose is more than just a princess to be saved she is a girl that is lonely and wants to explore many places. I loved how well they knew each other before falling in love it was a gradual process. The story is amazing it starts like the animated film but diverges after the prologue with a better developed Phillip and Briar Rose and there are many great things added to the story that made for a very good read.

I loved this book so much a nice blend of action romance and mystery it was amazingly well written and never had a dull moment to be had. I loved the characters especially Zarela and Arturo they had great chemistry and were a romance for the ages. I loved Zarela for her strength despite great adversity willing to do so much to save everything her Father made she managed to do more than that find a love worth fighting for and find a new way of doing things. Arturo was mysterious and had many reasons to try to stay away from Zarela but everything made sure he got close to her and fell in love and gave him a reason to believe in what he wanted to do. The story was amazing it started by telling of Zarela's mother's death moved on to a tragedy in which Zarela has to fight to keep her way of life she finds out many things along the way falls in love and there is finally the best happy ever after.

I loved this book it was as good or better than the ones involving Alosa I loved reading more about Sorinda and Kearan their slow to start love story. I loved the characters so much the ones from before and new ones and learning more about the ones that are established as well. I especially loved Sorinda and Kearan it takes awhile for her to accept Kearan for many reasons at lot of it is her childhood trauma and how it shaped the rest of her life up until now. I loved her bravery and how she sees certain things and how she finally believed she deserved love and a happy life. I loved Kearan even if he can be a bit persistent he knows when to back off and slow down I loved how he expressed his love for Sorinda. I loved the plot it starts with Sorinda assassinating someone bad moves on to things about Kearan and then to her going to find lost pirates many things happen along the way she tries to fight falling in love fails and gets the acceptance she very much needed about what happened when she was a child other things happen the day is saved and there is a happy ever after.

This book was very unique never read anything like it set in the 30s but with magic and something that causes destruction and kills people. I also liked the images and little notes throughout it made for an interesting reading experience. I loved the characters especially Peregrine as she is called through most of the book and is not really called Laura sept at the beginning she is determined to make something of herself finds a mentor and saves people along the way. I really like the alternate history with certain tweaks to match this different magic filled world. The plot is really intriguing at down on her luck girl named Laura finds a purpose meets people maybe even romance finds out what is causing all the problems saves the day and is very happy in her life now. This was a part of a traveling book swap and is on the facebook group LiterALLy BOOKiSh. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1208628009497556

This book was amazing it kept me guessing all throughout it never saw many things coming I am looking forward to the sequel especially with that ending. I loved the characters especially Inez also Whit is very mysterious looking forward to where all that goes. I loved how determined Inez is when it comes to finding the truth among other things. The plot was very well executed it moved along rather fast with many questions going unanswered looking forward to where the mystery and the romance goes by the time the next book comes out.

I loved this book so much glad I waited to read it until after the final came out so I did not have to wait after that ending. I loved the characters even more in this volume I still love Evangeline most but I really came to like Jacks the more I learned about him. I loved the romance with the will they or won't they it didn't end on a good note looking forward to getting into the finale to get the resolution to it all. The plot was amazing it started with a curse moved on to Evangeline learning and finding out many things with that ending reading the finale soon.
