Farrugia</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/638803841'>5 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> I was given the book free by the author with no obligation to review, as I am a Matthew Riley fan.<br />I thoroughly enjoyed the book. What was refreshing was the fact the main character is a woman, Sophia. Very rare this happens in action/adventure books. So thank you for that Nathan :-)<br />For me, the story was just pure escapism, sometimes riding on the edge of ridiculous but hey, if it takes me on a roller coaster ride of varying excitement, it can only be all good.<br />I hope this is the start of an ongoing series and I have every intention of purchasing the next book.<br />Thank you Nathan for a very entertaining read!<br /><br /><br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/638803841'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127956412798821458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115517914549440786.post-59855943874617408072013-06-17T11:11:00.001+01:002013-06-17T11:11:09.360+01:00Review: The King's Blood<br /> <a style='float: left; padding-right: 20px' href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17593817'><img alt='The King's Blood' border='0' src='http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1366231547m/17593817.jpg'/></a><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17593817'>The King's Blood</a> by <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/134'>Daniel Abraham</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/637195486'>5 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> I really enjoyed this book, even better than the first one in the series.<br />Very well written and I can't wait to read the third book in the series.<br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/637195486'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127956412798821458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115517914549440786.post-77037882697260424832013-06-16T12:04:00.001+01:002013-06-16T12:04:53.824+01:00Review: Blotto, Twinks and the Ex-King's Daughter<br /> <a style='float: left; padding-right: 20px' href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11967788'><img alt='Blotto, Twinks and the Ex-King's Daughter' border='0' src='http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328349236m/11967788.jpg'/></a><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11967788'>Blotto, Twinks and the Ex-King's Daughter</a> by <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/51504'>Simon Brett</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/634299677'>3 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> This is the first Blotto and Twinks novel I have read and it was very enjoyable.

I was immediately drawn to it as I live in Hastings and take part in most of the events that are mentioned within. I was delighted also as I am a Section 5 drummer, and Section 5 Drummers are mentioned through out the book.<br />I enjoyed all the historical facts, a lot which were unknown to me about Hastings Old Town.<br />The story was good but I thought it was a bit disjointed at times. Maybe this was due to the formatting?<br />Overall a very enjoyable read.<br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/611033348'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127956412798821458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115517914549440786.post-40460661612785465442013-06-03T15:36:00.001+01:002013-06-03T15:36:11.939+01:00Review: Disenchanted<br /> <a style='float: left; padding-right: 20px' href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16142351'><img alt='Disenchanted' border='0' src='http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1353893937m/16142351.jpg'/></a><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16142351'>Disenchanted</a> by <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2772365'>Robert Kroese</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/629500101'>4 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> A lovely quirky fantasy book.
