Guild Of Tokens By Jon Auerbach
Guild Of Tokens. An urban fantasy that gives you everything you didn’t know you were craving. A plot that warrants its highly ambitious execution, Auerbach has created a world that chews you up and spits you back out with his rich and vibrant world building. It certainly didn’t take long to be transported into the world of questing, tokens and mystique. I typically know if a book is going to be for me within a few chapters, but it was even shorter with Guild Of Tokens. Auerbach quick paced prose keeps the dramatic stimulus rocketing forward. We meet our protagonist, Jen, sick and fed up with life. Dissatisfied with her…

Diary Entry Of Gandalf The Grey. The Grey Vs. The Balrog.
Gandalf The Grey is dead. I, of course, knew that it would end this way. However, the fellowship needed to see the positivity, that indominable sense that good will prevail, but good doesn’t always win the battle. Good doesn’t always ride off into the sunset on a dashing, brilliant white stallion. Everything that is bad about this godforsaken earth injects its poison and spreads its plague as far as the eye can see. The shadows and the light. Nothing is safe from the rottenness that evil has permeated. The one ring to rule them all is no different. Power corrupts, and the ring maintains it. The fellowship is in chaos. …

Review: Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
I Solemnly swear I am up to no good. Sirius Black is officially my favourite in the series. Anyone that can exist in Azkaban without having his soul dwindle into an empty pit deserves his happily ever after. Harry Potter is embroiled deeper and deeper into the dark workings of Voldemort. Each year his connection to him is a tangled web of mystery and suffering. Deceit and lies threaten to tear him down- loss of potential, loss of love and a deep ache that just festers. The only two anchors he has is Hogwarts and his best friends, Ron and Hermione. The summer at the Dursleys has been as terrible…

Review: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is the second instalment in the hugely successful Harry Potter franchise. The book opens up during the summer break, therefore, Harry is back with his mother’s sister, Petunia and his uncle Vernon and their disgusting son, Dudley. The abuse of Harry is still very much apparent, and he is longing for summer break to be over, so that he can be back with his friends. The friends that haven’t bothered to write to him all summer. No communication. Nothing. He needs to be back with his own people not with family that don’t treat him like family at all, but, how will he…

Magician by Raymond. E. Feist
WOW…Completely blown away by this fantasy classic. Magician was truly magical, and it has filled the whole that has been left behind by Game of Thrones. For the gamer geeks out there, it totally has a Skyrim epicness to its storytelling. Do you want Trolls, Elves and magical beings? Strap in because you’re in for a bumpy ride. I am recently new to the Fantasy Genre after having my husband introduce me to Game of Thrones, but it is fast becoming my favourite genre. Magician was first published in the 80’s but it is certainly standing the test of time. Magician opens in Crydee, an outpost in the Kingdom of…
