Jean Carlos _ean_arbosa — This is a difficult book for me to review because I have mixed feelings about it. So Laurel is back in danger (again) when trolls start showing up in the forest behind her house (again) and Tamani is back to protect her (again). Can you see a bit of a trend here?? This time Tamani enrols at Laurel’s school so as to be nearer to her and help protect her better but as you can imagine, with Laurel’s inability to pick her boyfriend and stick to said boyfriend, this causes a lot of problems between her, Tamani and David. Also Klea is back and has given Laurel a job to do, looking after a new girl who has green eyes and plant like features. A rogue faery. Does Klea know that she is a faery, has she placed her with Laurel as a trap? Something which Tamani and the other sentries need to find out as there has never been a wild faery discovered outside of Avalon before and they are afraid of what she may be capable of if she even knows herself what she is… The series as a whole is not one of my favourites but I have felt compelled to continue reading to find out if it improved and to see what happens in the end. Let’s start with the good. The other Wings books were written entirely from the POV of Laurel, who as an irritating and frustrating character, makes it difficult for me to read without wanting to hit something! However, Wild was partly written from Tamani’s POV, which was a god send to get away from Laurel for a while and also added a new (and badly needed) dimension to the story. Another good point – the last third of the book was a quite interesting build up to a bit of a cliff hanger of an ending. Ok, now the bad. Unfortunately Laurel’s character STILL doesn’t seem to develop or grow from the very beginning of the series. She STILL can’t decide who she wants to be with and strings both David and Tamani along and then gets angry at them when they get jealous of each other. These bits were maddening! Another bad point (to me anyway) is the corny, sloppy, shut your ears and cover your face moments between Laurel and David. On the occasions when she is being nice to him and they are interacting with each other, it’s just too corny to believe real. Some of the lines David comes out with made me want to throw the book and hide from it! Also the continuing story line with trolls doesn’t feel very well explained to me either. Every book you think the troll thing has been eradicated but then all of a sudden – “oh the trolls are back and you’re in danger again Laurel” – it gets a bit tedious. As I have now read 3 out of 4, of course I’m going to read the last one and keep my fingers crossed for a good finale because the story and idea as a whole do have promise, but I won’t have too high hopes. If you’ve already read Wings and Spells then I’d still give it a chance as there are some improvements to the series as a whole but just don’t expect anything spectacular.

Szabolcs Toth tothszabolb502 — Fun hide and seek book with lots of little flaps to lift and see what's underneath. Colorful illustrations and simple, but interesting narrative. Great for reading with young children.

Saskia Whitfield saskia_arts — I love sprawling stories like this. I loved how this was able to incorporate magic and Jewish mythology and comic books and novelty gifts and issues of homosexuality and love and brotherhood and all that stuff. This is an amazing book.

Florin Toma _uardianof_ight — This one was almost as tawdry as the cover makes it out to be, but I still liked it. Starting to worry about what I'm going to read while holding the baby when this series is over. (Also, starting to worry about my credit card bill, too.)
