Jirvania: Book 2 in the Julu series

"What a beautiful book!"





My review


The 2nd book I read this year was a fantasy story with the title Jirvania. This
beautiful book was written by Jan Anderegg and published on May 9th. 2021.
It contains 506 pages in the Kindle edition. So, it took a while for reading and
reviewing, but it was worth every minute I spent for this book.

While reading I always make some notes. These were the notes I wrote down,
while reading Jirvania:

- The story is full of adventure, romance, and self-discovery, keeping readers
hooked from beginning to end.

- The author's vivid prose brings the fantastical world of Jirvania to life,
transporting readers to a realm filled with magic and mystery.

- The characters are complex, relatable, and well-grounded, making
them easy to root for and connect with. I really enjoyed reading about the
adventures of Jack and Julu. 

Overall, Jirvania is a well-crafted and entertaining novel that offers a
captivating story, immersive world-building, well-developed characters,
and a heartwarming message. It is a must-read for fans of fantasy literature
and anyone seeking an engaging and uplifting read.

Without any doubt, I give a five star rating for Jirvania.

A single Spark written by Tayvia Pierce

 very good book





My review



A Single Spark by Tayvia Pierce is a well-written and engaging fantasy
novel that follows the story of Lady Carys, an overlooked and gossiped-about
member of an aristocratic family. When her family is forced to flee their land
after rumors of murder and corruption plague them, Carys finds herself at the
center of a storm that is even bigger than what they've been through before.

Pierce does a masterful job of world-building, creating a fantasy world that
feels both familiar and unique. The characters are complex and believable, and
the plot is full of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end.

One of the things I loved most about A Single Spark is the way Pierce
explores the themes of family, loyalty, and forgiveness. Carys is a complex and
relatable protagonist, and her journey to self-discovery is one that many readers
will be able to connect with.

Overall, A Single Spark is an excellent start to what promises to be an
exciting and engaging fantasy series. I highly recommend it to fans of epic
fantasy, family drama, and suspenseful fiction.

Without any doubts, I give a 5 star rating and I hope to read more books from 
this wonderful author.

Music was Erica’s first language; a mirror reflecting her soul.
As the rhythm unfolds, it unravels her heart and unleashes her dreams.
Sadly, Erica lost her singing voice to a tragic illness. Exiled from her
passion, she was left craving catharsis. Song after song, story after
story, photo after photo, visions of Erosia came to life. It became
clear that Erica is more than a musician. She is a vessel through
which passion emerges. Through her whisper, she led her band,
Erosian Exile – but as her vocal cords deteriorated, writing became
her new voice. Her fantasy series, Night Gem, reveals the origins of Erosia.

Fearghus Academy: Chrystal Shards

 A wonderful series



My review


I already read Fearghus Academy – October jewels with lots of pleasure,

As always, I liked the cover and the characters were amazing. They go through
a lot in this second episode. 

I also enjoyed the story, lots of drama, adventure and even some comedy.
I immediately fell this sequel became a bit darker. Nevertheless I’m looking
forward to read the next story and book!

Bookreview: Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud.

 A good adventure story


Summary


Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud is book one of a trilogy and introduces
Ela Green, a fourteen-year-old girl. Her first adventure reveals the mysterious
bond she shares with Mother Nature and her encounter with Yggdrasil,
the wise-tree, charting her own self-discovery along the way. 

With the help of her best friend, Jo, and her loving Uncle Archibald, who
unwillingly has to lay bare an unbelievable secret, Ela summons all her courage
to face the many dangers along the road.

The adventure starts in the present day at Waldegg Boarding School on the
shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. As Mrs. Green drives her daughter back
after the summer holidays, Ela has no idea that the discovery of an ancient bracelet
and a scroll she found in an antique desk will change her life forever.

The formidable school is the connecting link in an adventure that will time-travel
the reader through continents and centuries in search of the mysterious kingdom
and the magical Book of Name, the most powerful manuscript ever written...

And for a prophecy that must be fulfilled...






My Review


My expectations of this book started very high due to the amazing, beautiful book
cover and the story as well. However, it was written a bit too chaotic.

The main character took the readers with her on her trip to the Kingdom of 
Abud. The trip is full of adventures. The writing style is chaotic, but well detailed
and clear. 

I'm very happy, I started reading the first book of the trilogy for once and I hope
there will follow more books of this author.

I would recommend Ela Green and the Kingdom of Abud to all who like to read
fantasy & adventures stories.

I want to give a 4 star rating for this wonderful, chaotic story. 


The author

Sylvia Greif is a Swiss writer and animal advocate. In 2014 she released a children's
book, Lester's Planet. Ela Green and The Kingdom of Abud is her first novel in a trilogy.

A real nature lover, she is at her happiest in the great outdoors, playing sports.
Sylvia enjoys skiing, swimming, horseback riding, athletics and hiking.
She recently walked part of the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela.

Always up for a physical or a creative challenge, she hopes to climb
Mount Kilimanjaro in the near future.

Her passion for the environment and wildlife started when she was a child.
She grew up surrounded by pets and since a young age, animals have shaped
her more than people. As an animal advocate she works alongside non-profit
organisations to protect animal rights and fight animal cruelty.
Sylvia has three dogs, Bv, Shea and Lola.

Her other passion alongside writing is music and travelling. She has globe-trotted
around the world and is fluent in five languages.

For Sylvia, moments of inspiration are often found in unexpected places.
Her best writing happens on board a train but also from her home. Sylvia is
an early morning writer. She likes to take advantage of the first hours of the
day when she feels the most creative, surrounded by her three dogs.
She finds it to be a fruitful work environment when, as if by magic, a crazy
idea turns into the right turn of phrase. It allows her to get an amount of
uninterrupted writing done, a beautiful antidote to life's stresses.

I received a free copy via Booktasters in return for my honest review. Although I

to follow the adventures of the characters.

This is a fantastic fantasy story recommended for people who love fantasy and
drama. Although this book certainly is for adults (more than 18 years).

I give with lots of pleasure a 5 star rating for this excellent book!

Bookreview: Ark Of The Apocalypse

 A fantastic read!


Summary

Earth is on the verge of becoming a dead planet.

The polar ice caps melted long ago, and it's been decades since the last raindrop fell.
Ocean levels rise a dozen meters, and forest fires rage on a global scale. Eleven billion
people dying of thirst wage water wars against each other as extinction looms.

Humanity needs a new planet. As Earth deteriorates, the nation states desperately work
together to build a mechanism for recolonization. And so the Magellan II is born, the
first starship capable of interstellar travel.

The future of the human race is tasked to ten thousand colonists-now homeless but for
the vastness of space and the decks of Magellan II. A distant planet offers hope of 
survival, but it's a strange watery world inhabited by giant reptiles. 

Humanity is starting over, but survival isn't guaranteed.

The Wraith's Memory - Between Gods and Mortals Book 2

The Wraith's Memory 

Between Gods and Mortals Book 2


written by Whitney Rines 



Summary

    The massacre of a village by a mysterious group of conspirators spreads
division and war across Liansea and chases survivors to the last
strongholds standing, Terimah and Nismyth.


When Terimah’s strict entry rules cost more refugee lives-Mortal and
Amaranthine alike, refugees turn to Nismyth and their open-gate policy.
Unaware of the corruption being cultivated in the ruling family, infecting
everyone from the upper echelon down to the lowest villagers.

When a mysterious illness brings tragedy to the village of Aritehn, wounding
both the population and trust in their rulers, many villagers including a
 young man named Chiron, seek ways to save Aritehn themselves.
An interview with Nismyth’s military recruiter sets his course when he
is sponsored for education instead, and exposed to more of the corruption
than before. Choosing to defy his sponsor costs him more than he could
ever fathom and sets a dark path ahead of him.

The Wraith’s Memory follows Chiron’s beginnings and walks the path
leading him to his future, and the one who might hold the path to his redemption.
