Well, this was a book I had
been considering reading for a while. I didn’t read any review before hand and
didn’t really know what the story was about. I read the blurb a long time ago
and just knew it sounded like my type of book. And it did not disappoint.
This was a very easy to read
book, I like the small chapter length, it felt like you were progressing very
quickly. Which as it happens I was! I found the author descriptive enough
whilst not getting bogged down in describing every little detail of the
surroundings. There is a time and a place for fully inclusive descriptions. I
won’t call this book lacking in description, it has plenty, but by keeping it
simple it allowed me to imagine things the way I wanted to. It felt like I was
being guided through my own imagination rather than immersed into someone
else’s.
I am particular fond of the
character of Zuzana, I think she is very funny, I am guessing this would be
classed as a young adult book as nothing gets overly explicit and I can see how
Zuzana’s character would lighten the book for younger readers. Me, personally,
I just like that she is small and feisty!
Overall a gratifying read
and I will definitely be continuing with this series as I was lucky enough to
win the second book so I am currently starting on that so that I can give it a
review for Goodreads. It is odd though going from an e-book back to a
paperback. So I am unsure what this will do to my current pace of reading.
