Quote - Vickie Karp



When you start a story, don't be too picky about all the details. A good piece of writing twists and bends out of shape; it never finishes how you imagined to start. Be creative and think outside the box, don't set limits for yourself. You may be able to fly, but you'll never soar.

The Book of Lies Trilogy

I have just finished the Book of Lies Trilogy by James Moloney (The Book of Lies, Master of the Books, and The Book from Baden Dark).
I loved every book and once I started reading I found it hard to put down. I have always loved the fantasy genre; there's just something about magic and mythical creatures that I love.
I have found another series by James Moloney called the Silver May Trilogy (Silvermay, Tamlyn, and Lucien). I only found out it was another series because I picked up the second book Tamlyn and read the blurb which suggested it had a book before it. I found it on the internet and sure enough there was a trilogy, so I hope the library has all three because I only saw Tamlyn.

Anyway, my rating for the Book of Lies Trilogy is 5/5. I really enjoyed these books and anyone who likes the fantasy genre will absolutely love these as well. Full of adventure and magic, The Book of Lies will show you the truth (hehehe, a bit cheesy I know).

James Moloney

I just finished reading Master of the Books on the weekend. I had intended to read through the Easter holidays but everything else came up and I didn't get enough time.

The second book in James Moloney's trilogy is as good as the first one, if you don't mind all the easy to read foreshadowing. The ending, as usual, makes you want to pick up the next one and start reading immediately. Which is what I've done, of course. The Book from Baden Dark is now currently sitting in my bag, waiting to be read. The only problem is that I'm reading Allegient, by Veronica Roth, and Eldest, by Christopher Paolini at the same time. I've also gotten another one of Moloney's books out, Tamlyn, which I've discovered is the sequel to another book, Silvermay (I really need to check if a book is in a series or not before I get it out).

Anyway, I have a lot of good reading to get done and I can't wait to get started :)
