The Goblin's Daughter by Krystal George is a very good story seriously marred by spelling, punctuation, and misuse of words. If the author had just gotten the book copyedited by a good editor, the story would stand out instead of constantly being interrupted for the reader by these problems. Gianna is an engaging heroine and Jack is the quintessence of selfishness; the other characters work as they should. The plot is fine. But the constant errors gave me a headache.

The Willows gives us a glimpse that the world around us is not really what we think it is, that the monsters we ultimately fear really walk among us and no one is as they seem.

We meet Evie as a damaged young woman who has had to endure major tragedy, and there is only so much her young heart can take before it shuts down completely. But there is nothing like a mystery to get you moving and to find out what is really going on.

It seems like the hunt to solve the puzzle re-awakens all of the emotions of Evelyn Magwire and remind her what it is like to be human. That will become critical for her to hold onto.

While The Willows starts off a little slow with getting to understand the characters, once the mysteries begin to unfold, you are quickly drawn in and it makes up for the start. I overall found this a very enjoyable read and one I was not able to put down. I found myself drug back into the story time and time again when I should be working on other things. It overall is a quick read, coming in at roughly 140 pages, and is one that I think the young and the young at heart can enjoy.

This novel was a perfect little escape. From beginning to finish I was sucked into the world of guardians, faeries, pixies, and other mythical creatures. I am so glad I got the chance to read this, and I hope more people pick up The Guardian of the Realm.

This book stands out, from start to finish. The writing and descriptions I thought were especially unique! The whole dark world was very vivid and blew my mind from the the very first mention of faeries. I would definitely reccomend this to readers looking for an absorbing read.

The whole concept of light and dark intrigued me. And the author kept the audience constantly focused on the war against one another, in characters, places, battles, and thoughts. My only complaint is that once in a while the characters would get a flat feeling for a page or two. Esmeralda was always great and unique (I really enjoyed her perspective), just Eric sometimes felt like a background character in the beginning. By the end he was great though!

The other characters such as Kaitlyn and Agatha were very intriguing. Just the things they said drew me in. Also, I enjoyed reading about Fidelious, a magic stallion! The authors interpretation of how magical creatures think and act made the book so different from others. This book was just so different and interesting, that if it had any real faults they were overlooked because of my heightened interest.

While this was no way a long book, I still think the length is perfect and adds to the uniqueness of the faerie tale. Also, I never was bored! The book was action packed with the bonus of interesting dialogue. I also loved how the author brought up emotion so much. And what the faeries think of them.

The conclusion was done masterfully and left me satisfied, smiling, and heart pounding still after what had happened a couple chapter before. Overall, Guardian of the Realm is a great and kind of different read.
