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).

Master of the Books

I am really enjoying James Moloney's Master of the Books. I am about halfway through the book because I haven't had any time to read at all (which is probably because I've read 2 other novels, and am reading two other books that are in series as well. To be honest I have a a lot of reading to do!). As (I think) this book is written for a younger age (around 14-16 year olds, maybe 12 if they were as keen a reader as me at that age) there are I few things I picked up. There is a lot of obvious foreshadowing which I don't really mind at all, it lets you guess what is going to happen. The part I don't really like is that you can guess what's going to happen...I mean really guess and you're smack on right. The story line is too predictable and tries to build a climax up that you've already guessed way back in the beginning. Apart from that, I really love this book. I love the whole medieval/magic/fantasy genre, and I've never come across a book in this genre that I don't like :)
