The story is set in the Shattered Realm. It’s about this kid named Adrian sul’Han, known as Ash or Adam Freeman who’s the son of a former street thief who is the king of the Queendom of Fells. Then his party gets killed. He gets upset and runs away from his kingdom to the enemy kingdom, to a place called Delphi where he’s going around killing people.
I should mention there are magical people in this world and if you’re a sorcerer, or a healer you can use your magic to heal, kill, control minds, pluck eyes out and so on.
Then he goes to the King’s court. Because the kingdom of Arden and the kingdom of Feld are arch enemies, to get into the court he has to dress in the disguise of a healer. But really, he’s on a mission to assassinate the king. He meets this girl named Jenna Bandelow, all the time he is under the alias of Adam Freeman, Healer of the King’s court. Jenna has a mark on her neck, and that’s why she gets kidnapped by this group of evil guards. Then an emperor from a land far, far away says they will give the kingdom of Arden a gift in exchange for her. One of the gifts is six really large, expensive diamonds. Adam is in charge of checking them for curses (as a sorcerer he can). He slips in this bottle of living silver because it’s actually this thing from the hot baths of the mountain Fells and if you heat it, it will make people sick. So he is trying to kill the guard. Then this thing happens where because the Queen of Arden doesn’t like the King, she tries to do him in, throwing him off the balcony.
Adam is caught in the scandal, someone is after the diamond and who is Jenna really?

I was trying to persuade my parents to read this series, but they don’t want to read it, my dad thinks it’s a ‘girly girl book’ but anyway, he’s just judging a book by its cover.
This series is sort of for teenagers. It’s set in England. There a four girls. They’re sisters. Their ages are ranging from eleven to fourteen. Their parents have split up and they live with their mum in this house which is like a mansion. They have a bed and breakfast business in part of the house. Anyway their house is ginormous with like thirteen bedrooms and three dining rooms. The girls are Skye and Summer, Coco and Cherry. Their dad has a chocolate shop and names a truffle after each of them and these are what the books are titled.
Each story focuses on one of the girls. For instance, in Marshmallow Sky, Sky is drifting away from everyone else because she starts having dreams about a girl’s life after wearing some vintage clothes…
Rated: 5/5 reallys - “They’re really good books, I really want my parents to read them! Full of really funny and really sad bits.”
About this girl called Vika and another boy named Nikolai Karamov. The story is set in Russia in 1852. They are both enchanters. Enchanters enchant stuff with magic. In Russia there is only supposed to be one enchanter that harnesses the power of Bolshevik Dito, which is the place that gives them their magic. There’s this thing called The Town’s Game, where each enchanter has to fight. It’s quite weirdly polite. You have to take turns to fight people. You can only use your magic to attack during your turn, you can use it to defend even if it’s not. It’s really good. I would recommend it for people who like magic and stuff like that.
Rated: 5/5 reallys - “... the lady who wrote this got offered a job by the C.I.A.!”
It’s set in London in the middle of an apocalypse and everyone is getting brainwashed by aliens. The main character is Sam, who has been living in a sewer system for safety.

This book is set during World War II. Hitler is trying to bomb the towns. It’s about this girl called Ada who has a twisted foot so it’s basically backwards. Her mum has always been ashamed of her so she never lets her go out or near her window, even though that was her favourite spot. She couldn’t walk properly and had to pull her bad leg around and crawl. She had a little brother called Jamie, and he could walk and play and go outside. Their mother loves him and lets him see everything of the world. Sometimes he wouldn’t come home until early in the morning.
When Hitler and the Nazis start bombing their town, Ada’s mum is really cruel to her, taking her brother somewhere safe and leaving her behind in danger. Ada escapes on a train with her brother and stays at this lady’s place who has a pony named Butter. At first Ada thought she was rich because they had such good food and she had literally never had more than crumbs at home, even though their mother and Jamie would have a feast each night. She finds out later that the lady is actually very poor.
Rated: 5/5 reallys - “An exciting, enjoyable read.”
This is the second book in the series. So they are on the chase for clues and they are trying to get 39. So they had the choice of a clue hunt with the goal of being the most powerful person on earth or decline and get a million dollars.
First, the characters are a fourteen year-old girl called Amy and her eleven year-old brother Dan. A hunger strike begins in two hours east of Paris. Saladin is a cat so right now they’re in Paris and they’re trying to get to Japan. There is this family called Hult, and what they do is they literally boss everyone around because they’re so strong. The youngest Hult is one and they can lift Amy off the ground! So basically the Hult's are these strong guys who try to beat everyone up. Hult Hamilton hates France. And I should have said Saladin has a cat carrier.
Sometimes it’s a bit violent because it includes things like blood lips, poison and scratching and one of the contestants dies in a fire.
