Echanted Glass is written by Diana Wynne Jones.(one of my favourite author)It was publhied on 2010 and Garth Nix gave a positive review for the book.
The good
.I really liked the cover.
.The characters were very unique on their own way.
.The story was humourous and smartly done.
The bad
.The ending doesn't explain alot of things
.The book was to short for me,she could have expanded more about the characters and the story
Quick summary
The story starts at a town named Melstone.Andrew Hope inherits his grandfather house.One day a boy named Aidan Cain came to his house asking for help(his grandmother said to him to come here if there is any trouble.Aidan was being followed by some unknown creature.Andrew decided to let Aidan stay at the house because he had nowhere to go.Then when Stashe(Andrew new assistant) came for her first day of work...........................That is the end of the summary.
The conclusion
Echanted glass to me is not her best book but is still very enjoyable.The characters were very good it have the strict and no nonsense Mrs Stock,the lovely assistant Stashe,and many more.I rwally liked the book but the endig was a bit dissapointing it doesn't actually explain alot but perhaps there will be another book to explain more.

Mockingjay
I'm sorry I didn't write a post for some time,I tried to search the Mockingjay everywhere but most bookstore have already soldout.Mockingjay is the final book of the Hunger Games series it is written by Suzanne Collins.It was published on 24 Augut 2010.
The good
.Gale and Finnick appeared more this time.
.The ending was okay.(I hoped it will be better)
.I'm satisfied with who Katniss picks and why did she pick him.
The bad
.I hoped she could tell more about Johanna past.
.Suzanne Collins killed alot of character SPOILER(I mean characters like Enobaria survived while Finnick dies.
Quick summary
The Capitol had destoyed District 12 because of the rebel.The remaining people of district 12 had to stay at District 13.(actually District 13 is not destroyed and now they operate underground)Katniss emotion is unstable because she kept thinking how will president Snow torture Peeta.Coin(President of District 13) ask Katniss to be the Mockingjay to make the rebel more spirited,Katniss agreed onthe condition that she will be the one to kill president Snow.................That all for now.
The conclusion
To me this is the weakest book of the series it lacks what the first two books have Action.I mean sure there's a lot of characters that died but alot of them died is by bombs and weird creatures.I didn't give me the feeling like the first two books.The books leave me with alot of things I hope was more eplained but still it is a good book and a good ending to one of the best series I have ever read.

The Shield of Stars
The Shield of Stars is a book written by Hilari Bell on the year 2007.It is the first book of the The shield,sword and crown series.
The good
.I absolutely loved the cover.(the drawn one)
.I liked that she put tarot cards that represents each chapter.
.The story was good until it started to reach ending which I am a little bit dissapointed
The bad
.The ending was a little dissapointing. SPOILER(I mean I thought the Shield will have a magical effects or something I was totally shocked when I read it was just a normal royal shield) SPOILER END
.I hoped she could tell more about the villains and the prince
Quick summary
Weasel is a very skillful pickpocket.One day when he tried to steal Justice Holis money he was caught.Justice Holis gave weasel a job and ask him to stay with him.
One day Justice Hollis was arrested and will be hang if someone does not save him.
Weasel wanted to save him because he was the only person to ever be kind to Weasel.
To save him he and Arisa (a mysterious girl)have to find the Falcon a Commander of road bandit who tries to overthrow the people who put Justice Holis in jail.........end of summary
The conclusion
The story is not bad (excluding the ending)I bought because of it's beautiful cover. I know people say don't judge a book by it's cover but sometimes I books by looking at the cover.While the story is nothing new but with some quirky characters and a charming story it is a great read if you are looking for a not so magical book.
