Fantasy - Amazing emotional books. Must read

It is my present read and it is enjoyable.

I first read this series in my early teens and awaited each new release with bated breath! They are incredible, I have never read anything like them. Fantasy, dragons, magic, friendships, family, battles etc, this story has it all

This book is unlike anything else I have read. I found it to be totally unique, and utterly gripping. It made me laugh, it made me cry; the story itself is so immersive. I would say it wasn't any easy read in that it is quite complex, but well worth it

It's a fun read set in a wellness spa, with multiple POVs that allow you to get insight into every character.

This is out BOTM - we chose a coming of age book for this month!

Apart from the exquisite writing, seen from the view points of inter-related family members, it gives you a flavour of the cultural world from 1895 to the first world war. A lot of the characters come from privileged backgrounds but, for me personally, I was encouraged to see the rise of two working class siblings from Stoke-on-Trent in the fields of pottery and women's suffrage.

Sci-fi mixed with philosophy and humour. Our routine existence our world even, seems so safe so mundane, but it could be far from that and this book could give you a new perspective, much like when astronauts saw the first earth rise from the moon.

Whilst reading this book I felt like I was in the book rather than reading it. There are many twists and turns and it is well written. I won’t give any information away as I don’t want to spoil for anyone but I highly recommend reading this book.
