I think this is the best of the series yet. 

The chokehold this series has on me.   The love / hate relationship I have. 

Holy sh*t, what a book!!

Meg, you have done it again.  

I have loved every book and short that Megan has released so far (π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘”π‘’ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘š 𝑖𝑓 π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘’π‘›β€™π‘‘ 𝑦𝑒𝑑), but this one is special!     

Foster is absolute perfection.   I LOVED him. He’s just truly the best character.  I love how safe he made Sophie feel, and that he paid attention. He cared to know things and took notes.   There are so many things he did that was just top notch and literally had me swooning.  

And Sophie Hore is pretty special too, with amazing parents and friends.   

The banter and comedy was so fun, I loved the unique way in which he swore and the things he said.   And their chemistry with that slow burn, dannnnng πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

The ABCs of dating is so unique and was so much fun to see what they came up with next.   I literally turned to my hubby and said we were starting it.   What a fantastic way to either start dating, or bring some fun and spice back into your current relationship.  

This can be read as a standalone, but honestly, I highly suggest reading the 𝐀𝐧 π”π§πžπ±π©πžπœπ­πžπ 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐑 and 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐧 𝐭𝐑𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐀𝐒𝐧𝐠 first.  Megan’s writing and characters truly are something special and not ones to miss.  

Gah.  This book is perfection.   Truly from the bottom of my heart.  

So.  Dang. Good. 

When I heard the announcement we were getting another book in the 𝙃π™ͺπ™£π™œπ™šπ™§ π™‚π™–π™’π™šπ™¨ series I was very excited.   Even more so once I learned we would be getting Haymitch’s story. 

Haymitch is one of my favourite characters in the series so I had such high hopes for this book and it absolutely did not disappoint!   

It takes a lot to be able to able to write a book that everyone already knows the ending too and Collins does just that.  

I was completely enthralled from start to finish with this book.  It was heartbreaking, Infuriating and an incredible read. 

I loved that we had cameos from characters in the previous books which gives us a little bit more insight into their stories as well.  

This book tears at your heartstrings and you really understand why Haymitch is the way he is when you read the original trilogy.  

I am very excited to see this one come to life on the big screen next year!!!

π‘°π’Žπ’‘π’π’”π’”π’Šπ’ƒπ’π’† π‘ͺ𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔 was a fun and exciting middle grade fantasy.   I loved being immersed in this epic fantasy world and getting the opportunity to read this along with my daughter was very special!   It brought me back to my younger years, curled up in bed reading stories with my mom.

The day Christopher saves a drowning baby Griffin from a hidden lake, his life would be forever changed.   This is the day he learns all about the Archipelago, a cluster of islands where magical creatures have lived for thousands of years.   This is also the day Christopher meets Mal, a girl who desperately needs his help.

We both really enjoyed this book.  We loved all the creatures and characters with a few of our favourites being Nighthand, Jacques, Gelifen and Christopher.   The writing was very immersive and so well done.   You truly felt like you were right there going along with this adventure.   You could easily picture the world and all the different creatures.  

We especially liked to see how each of the characters grew and handled the challenges they faced.   And we were quite happy and surprised with how things turned out in the end.

We look forward to seeing where this story goes next and the new characters we will meet.

We highly suggest picking this one up, especially if you love to get lost in the pages of a book and go on an epic adventure.
