I really loved this book. It was easy to read, loaded with practical advice that wouldn't scare anyone off as being too out there. Dan really has a way to relate to the average Jo out there, to set out an easy starting point and to make spiritual lessons seem ordinary, even though the book is called No Ordinary Moments.
Trudi Canavan is one of those writers that really grows as she writes. I thoroughly enjoyed the first of her newest trilogy, which starts a couple of years after the 1st trilogy ends. Black Magician Sonea's son is grown, and the city has a rogue. Or possible, a couple of rogues. It also has a deadly addiction threatening to take over the city and/or the Guild.
And a lot of other interesting things happen as well. ;)
It has been a long time since a book kept me so bound that I read it within a few days. If you're looking for new fantasy to try out, Trudi Canavan might be the one you should try out. Her writing definitely improves with each book, and although this trilogy (the 3rd one she has written) does not require knowledge of the first trilogy she wrote, it is always good to know the characters that you are dealing with so well. The 2nd trilogy she wrote was The Age of Five, and they were all highly enjoyable reads, keeping the reader spellbound and captivated by the world created.

The worst thing about this book was that I couldn't buy it for my new Kindle. Other than that, it was Jenny at her best. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I won't say I cried, but sure did laugh a lot. Most of the time I was amazed that stuff like this actually happens to people out there.
The best thing about this book, is Jenny's realisation towards the end, that we are the sum total of our experiences, and I am wonderfully amazed at how she chose to allow her daughter the freedom to make her own experiences.
This book was so much fun, that even my husband is laughing out load. And he doesn't like reading as such.
All in all, I won't say that this book is for everyone, but if you like Jenny, this might just become your favourite book. Ever.
