Such a nice, clean romance. Loved both the main characters and their friends, too. The slow burn romance and the sizzling chemistry between them was an absolute delight. It was such a wholesome read. I’m glad I found this author and that such books are also being written in the romance genre. 

Definitely a gripping book. I have been reading so many fantasy books these days that all of them are such a blur - faerie kingdoms, faerie powers and glamours, faerie kings, queens, princes and princesses, faerie politics, court intrigues, mortals among the faeries - it is mostly the same. But this one was really good, in spite of being similar to the others. I hope to continue this series. 

Not for me. Bringing the climate change angle into a magical tale seemed a bit strange to me. This is my personal opinion, maybe someone else might find it very interesting, but that's not me. I also prefer magical tales to have more magic and less realism; this book stunned me with real-world facts far too often. Not my style. I did not enjoy it. 

Many people seemed to have enjoyed this book. I frankly hated it. To begin with, I do not like this type of illustration style. To me, it is jarring. The wonky representation of the Hindu deities does not impress me either - a corporate version of heaven, really! The story itself is the only saving grace - it is an interesting plot. But I cannot be bothered to read through more of these painful drawings - even to satisfy my curiosity about the story. I regret buying this book. 

An all-time favourite book. Love the illustrations in this book. I could feel Goddess Parvati’s pain when her brilliant son was killed through treachery. I love how her anger forced the Gods to repent their actions and make reparations. A tale that depicts the immense power of the Goddess, both for creation and for destruction. This was the Indian concept of womanhood in ancient times. 

Except for The Fool’s Disciples, I liked all the other books. Thugsen, in particular, is an all-time favourite. The ending of Lila and Chanesar was a bit anti-climatic, but oh well, that is local legends for you - they aren’t always happily-ever-afters. Overall a good collection. 

I had watched the movies before but the book was just so scary. Incredibly horrifying scenario! All the cruelty towards animals in the name of science suddenly turned grotesque, when the tables were turned and there were humans on the receiving end. The ending was awesome too - scary, but awesome. 

The mfl, Molly, is awkward and she definitely talks funny, but in a very endearing sort of way. I’m surprised at how invested I felt in Molly’s situation, how tense I felt and how badly I wanted her to be free of her worries. I loved her granny’s principles that Molly lived by. And the fact that there were so many good people around her to recognise the goodness in her and to help her. A great book. Highly recommend. 

“We’re all entitled to a bad day now and again, I heard Gran say in my head. But when they are all bad days, with no pleasant ones, then it’s time to reconsider things.”

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”

The deduction style is very Sherlock Holmes -ish. The tale is a gory one, too. I certainly did not expect a culprit as exotic as this. The story was short - that was a bonus. But the style of writing was very strange, almost boring. Nonetheless, I’m glad I read this one. Definitely a must read. 

Well, the story is a sweet one. It is about a worried garlic, who manages to overcome her fears and finds happiness. Loved the concept. The graphics are good. But. The price of this book totally and completely  ruined the “enjoyment” for me. IMHO, this book is far too overpriced for what it offers - at least on Kindle. It might have been worth it at a discount of 60% or more. I am disappointed.
