This was a very cheerful read and so much more than I had hoped for. It's the first book by Frances Hodgson Burnett that I've read, but it's got me very much so looking forward to reading her other work.
This was astonishing to read and very well done. I've always been a fan of Van Gogh's artwork and knew little bits and pieces about his life. But until now, I hadn't really engaged in depth with what we do know about his life and the challenges he faced. So this was really special to spend time with and feel like I could get a true glimpse of the man himself.
Okay, I've got to go 3 stars for this one. In short, this was a great story with a really interesting magic system, but was let down by its unnecessary length. I was tempted to DNF this early on, but was so curious about how the story would develop that I committed to it.
The fourth book in Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, which was fantastic.
The second book in the Lifelike series - this was okay for me, but a bit of a struggle to get through at times.
An amazing WWI historical fiction story from the one and only, Kate Quinn.
A very lengthy and tedious fantasy novel, alas.
My review of book 5 in the Throne of Glass series - I'm rereading!
A wholesome book about a community's efforts to keep a library open when the council threatens to close it.
Book 6 in the Path of the Ranger series - a brilliant middle grade fantasy saga that is well worth the read.
