Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

The Suffering by the author Robert Cano is a dark fantasy. It is the first novella in Soul of Sorrows trilogy. The Satyrs and Fae are kin. But they have been in war since years in Devani’s kingdom so she was sent to another kingdom where the king and the queen were supposed to treat her kindly but the kingdom was so inhospitable and it had become more terror than caregiver.

Devani is now returning to her home after years. She is hungry, thirsty and energyless. The guard captain Bene placed her in the boat and drawn the attackers away. Devani was supposed to directly go to her home but on the way she needed something to eat. Also, the arrow that attacked her made her blood to flow. When she was looking for a warm shelter, she passed out and she was taken care by Chiron, the horse-body-human-torso people. Hel’ket and his father Ha’kek told Devani that it would take at least months travel for her to reach her home.

Story is interesting and nicely written. Language of the book is simple. Cover photo of the book is nice. Since it’s a novella, one could read it in a single sitting. World building is nice with a smooth narration. Index given at the end of the book helped in understanding few terms. After reading this book, I am much curious to read The Dark Archer.

The Lost Throne is the second book in “The Kingdom Within” series. Meredith and Connor, the characters that we met in the book 1 are the same one that continues in Book 2 but with much growth in characters. Meredith and Ethan both are sad and they are mourning over Connor’s death. They want revenge now. On the other hand, Connor is living apart and he doesn’t remember much about him.

Ethan is a very kind character who is driven by his duty to his people and his kingdom. Ethan is angry that they don’t have remains of Connor’s body to identify him. Connor is such a beloved member of Alder that people are mourning his death whereas Connor is desperate to get his memories back. Meredith who is a strong female protagonist has surely won my heart.

Author has done great work in this novel. World building is amazing and the story is captivating. I like to recommend it to YA fantasy readers. Length of part 2 in the series is longer as compared to part 1 and this one has much in store for the readers.

Rating: 4.5/5

Zandra by the author Janet Hatch is a memoir in which author has shared about her journey of raising a strong-willed daughter Zandra who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of eleven years. When Janet took Zandra at the local hospital for diagnosis, she got to know that Zandra’s blood sugars are extremely elevated and she has ketones in her urine. Janet raised awareness about diabetes among Zandra. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes difference that she has explained, I wasn’t aware about that earlier.

In this book, author has explained about the journey that she walked with Zandra taking care of her and taking her to the doctors timely. This book has all experiences from the time Zandra was born to her young adulthood. The real pictures of Zandra that author has shared in this book helped me to feel connected more with the story. It was heart-breaking to read about the loss of Ty. I couldn’t imagine what his family must have gone through. Loss of Murphy taught Janet’s family to deal with the grief. Reading about a three years old saying I want to die was like someone has stabbed you in the heart. I appreciate Janet as a caregiver.

This book is a collection of great experiences – ups and downs in Janet and Zandra’s life. Cover photo of the book is lovely. Title is short and sweet. It is named as Zandra about whom this story is about. Language of the book is simple and easy to understand. I like to strongly recommend this book to everyone so readers will get to know about the journey of a parent having a child with type 1 diabetes. Pace of the story is fine and length of the book is appropriate. I binge read it as I couldn’t put it down.

Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can,should or need to do it alone. Its really important that we all have someone in our life who helps us in our difficult times and after reading this book I think that yes we all have someone in our life who takes care of us and makes us what we are.

We all know it is really difficult to deal with such kind of situation but she had her best friend Audra who came to rescue when she needed her the most. It was so mesmerizing and emotional to check out how Audra instead of having problems in her home was there with Lucy to support her. Though Lucy had her parents but then also she needed someone whom she get warmth from , and was no other than Audra. The author has so well depicted the bond between the two of them that I even got emotional at times .

I will definitely say that each one of you deserve to read the bond between these two friends. With simple language and intriguing plot the author will definitely keep the readers engrossed till the end. The book also offers motivation and courage to all the people for sure.
