The opening chapter grabbed my attention, something that didn't happen again for the remainder of the book. After reading the initial chapter, I wanted to continue, but unfortunately the rest of the book fell flat for me, and I wasn't able to get back into it.

Glassheart by Katharine Orton is a YA fantasy book, with our heroine, Nona, being 11 years old, and it is set after the World War II, with descriptions of the Blitz.

She lives with her uncle, who creates stained glass windows, but she wakes one night to find her uncle talking to someone she can only see as a reflection in a mirror.  The next day they go to the middle of nowhere on the moors of Dartmoor.  Who has enchanted her uncle and why is what Nona has to find out.

This is a very emotive book, with lots of memories of those who have been lost.  It's a good story of a young girl taking on forces stronger than her for those she cares about.

 Glassheart  was published on 5th November 2020, and is available on  Amazon ,  Waterstones  and  Bookshop .

You can follow Katharine Orton on her  website  and on  Twitter .

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to  Walker Books.
