Bran Hambric:The Farfield Curse

Bran Hambric:The Farfield Curse is a book written by Kaleb Nation it was published in 2009 and receive alot of positive reviews.

The good
.The Wilomas family is one of the most interesting group of characters I have read In a while
.The story was funny an to me it has a really strong start

The bad
.While it has a strong start When it nears the ending the story feels incomplete.
.Balder and Balderetta didn't have lots of scene I really hoped to read about them more.

Quick Summary
Bran Hambric is a boy adopted by the Wilomas Family becauuse his mom left him at Dewey' Bank with only a scrap of paper telling his name so Bran lives his life there without knowing his past.One day he discovered that he is a wizard but he kept it quiet since the city he lives in made that magic and Gnomes are aginst the law bt................................That's all I have to say I guess.

The Conclusion
Bran Hambric is a good book to read if you're a fan of Harry Potter since there are some similiarities.It has top notch characters and a strong start but after a while some charcters just didn't shine and the story become a little empty but if you're not expecting much from a book and just want to read a book bran hambric is a good book to read.

The Warlock

The warlock is the fifth book of the Secret of Immortal Nicholas Flamel and it was published in 2011 it recieve positive reviews from critics

The good
.Some characters taht works for the dark elders like Virginia or Billy is shown more emotion
.More adventre than the previous book

The bad
.Didn't like some of the plot twist especially the ending

Quick summary
The twins are now divided,Nicholas is very sick and no Dee have the Codex.Meanwhile in the tomb of Paris Osiri,Iris(Dee's master) and the Witch of Endor freed Mars Ultor because they think that they need Mars Ultor now.Niten and Sophie try to search for Tsagaglalal without the help of the Flamel since Nicholas is sick and perenelle has to take care of him Nicholas will die today but since Perenelle give one day of her life(she has two Nicholas survives for..........................that's all I guess for the summary

The Conclusion
Like the previous book The Warlock is a fun book to read thanks to hilarious villains the adventurous story but one can feel that the book feels very similiar to the previous book and some concept arent just fresh anymore and to me the ending was just a dissapointment.

Sunshine

Sunshine is a book written by Robin Mckinley.It was published in 2003 and it was republished in 2010 because the of Twilight I think(yes this is a vampire book)This book receive positive reviews and won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature in 2004.

The good
.Sunshine is a better heroine than Bella
.How the world works was really intersting

The bad
.Didn't quite liked the ending
.Sunshine relationship is really annoying

Quick summary
Rae(Sunshine)is a waitress at a local cafe,she is famous for her delicious pastries.One day she decided to go to her family's old lake side cabin eventhough it's dangeros there since there are probably 'others'(creatures like vampire,werewolves,demon etc)there.Obviously she gets captured by a group of vampire and was locked inside a cabin with another vampire.....I guess that's all I can give.

The conclusion
To me Sunshine proves why people say that Robin Mckinley is a good writer
(Dragon Haven was dissapointing)while at first I hesitate to read now i'm glad I did read it at least I must have a vampire book I enjoyed or else my sister will kill me(she loves book with the theme vampire)To me Rae proves to be a better Heroine(not that I'm saying Bella isn't but some part of the book I think she cold have done more)bt sadly rae does have her flaws if she likes Constantine just say it and dump Mel don't leave him waiting for her anyway,long story short for vampire book fans Sunshine is a great book to read.
