Forestium by Christopher Morgan


Good Monday everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend. I have so many books on the go that it is hard to keep up with them all and my school work. But still I push on.
A couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be sent an advanced copy of this book to read. Just the other day the book was officially published so my review will give you all a chance to get the book. I will provide the links to the sites at the bottom of the post.
The book itself is a little different than what I normally do. But I love experimenting and reading books that suit all different audiences.
This book is a Fantasy book, set in a magical world. Let me tell you a bit more about it.

Joshua has lived his life in his village with his mother after his father died many years ago. For years he has had dreams of his father suffering leading him to believe that he is still alive.
Now he thinks it is his time to go looking for him. The timing couldn't be better as he and his friend Andrew come across a lost Imp in search for another of his kind.
Together the three set out into the world of Forestium in search of the three orbs that will bring peace to the land by opening the Portallas.
But they are not the only ones looking for the orbs. The great villain The Goat, a creature so horrific that in just days he whipped out an entire species, has sent spies to kill the group before they find the final orb.
The race is on for Joshua and his friends, old and new, to get to the orb before the Goat gets the chance to throw the world into chaos. 

Honestly I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Normally Fantasy books don't interest me in the slightest but this one really drew my attention in an held it. The variety of characters and the
illustrations starting each chapter made it easier to navigate through the story. The author has a strong voice throughout the story making it easy to forget you are reading a story. He knows the world he created well.

Story: B-
Characters: A-
Pace: A
Ending: B+
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Have a great day everyone and Happy Reading! Be sure to check out the links below to see more on the book.

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
