This book isn't a bit like "The Hobbit," but the Land is just as magical and simple and refreshing as the Shire. I loved the Beadles and the Myrmidots, and especially the Muddles.

While "buying" a bunch of free books for my kindle app, this book came up as a recommendation. Before I realized it, I had clicked on it and spent real money on it. If nothing else, the book was a $4.99 lesson to pay attention.
This story was fairly interesting. I would have given it 3.5 stars if I could. It concerns a group of three races who live peacefully together in a valley. One of the races is being attacked and soon all three races pitch in to find the perpetrator. The races are well imag...more

I was torn between three and four stars for this book. I enjoyed it and read it through to the end quite quickly, wanting to know what happened.

Crimson made an intriguing lead character and the mystery surrounding her helps to drive the story forward. The reasons I chose three rather than four stars are 1) I found the opening slow and a little confusing and in times throug...more

I've been many things in my life but they were all just slices of time layered on the one foundation - a writer. Sometimes you forget what you are and some times you just think I'll get around to that when all these rainy days are over. You have to be careful about that; there's more rainy days than you think there will be when you're young.
