It has been a long time since I have had the time to blog but I have still been reading! Of course! And I have just finished a book, the third in a series that I would like to recommend. The good books are the ones that I drop everything and read and this one fits that bill. The title is "River Secrets" by Shannon Hale and the series is entitled The Books of Bayern. I read the first book " The Goose Girl" and really enjoyed it and recommended it to one of my teachers to read. She loved it and recommended it to her students and so on and so on. The second book "Enna Burning" I found good but disturbing. This third book is fast paced, entertaining and well written, 3 things I look for. It is a fantasy series set in a group of kingdoms where politics, wars and personalities intermingle. The main character in this book is Razo, a very ordinary forest born, who has been asked to join a mission to Tira, an unfriendly neighbouring country still harbouring resentment over loosing a war with Bayern. This mission is to promote friendly relations but a group of agitators are wanting another war and are stopping at nothing to stir up trouble. Can Razo, who is not tall or strong but has the ability to notice details around him, find out who is behind all this in time to avoid another confrontation? Did I mention that helping him is a Tiran girl whom he has very uneasy feelings about?What are you reading today?
