Jackie Castle really hooked me with the first book in the series and I was ready to go on more adventures with these characters. Alyra is such a cool main character- I love her! I love strong female characters, but Alyra has had her share of hardships too.

I feel like she has really grown as a character as the journey has progressed. To me, this series is a creative mix of all the things I love about Narnia, Oz, and other beloved magical worlds of fiction. Definitely one of my fave series!! This book had much better pacing than the first book. The story picks up where the first ended with the main characters sent off in different directions on various quests. The characters were more likable in this story. I wish there was a little more world building in the series, as I still don't feel that connected to the world.

The grammar was much better in this book compared to the first. The story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger so I'll have to get the next book when it's published. I love this series and the way this author writes. This book does not disappoint and keeps you turning the pages wanting more!

Her last book Caprtures was just published so we will take a closer look on it. Something more, Jackie is the perfect person to ask about the kids and their love of reading, because she works with them daily. Unfortunately, Tarek is in danger of losing more than just his heart. He might lose everything if their secret is found out. I wanted to try my hand at writing a short piece. I decided to write this particular story to go along with my novel series, A White Road Chronicles which now has three books published.

There should be a total of five or six. Along with that, editing is a big pain. I get so fussy with this part, it seems to drag on forever before I feel ready to hit the publish button. Then after, I still find mistakes. Is it close to someone from your real life? So he gets to stay. I like to eat and see the sunshine. And shower, and stuff.
