Charmed Life

Hello everybody as you all know this in May and this blog is almost two years old so like last year i'm going to review some of the best book I've read(Just saying sometimes a book can get a 10 from me but that doen'st meant it is perfect book for me sometimes I will look to the character,story,cover and ending so sometimes when I feel for example the ending was a bit dull but the characters in a book so exceptionally it can still get a 10 from me.Anyway this is a book I that had read about a couple years ago.It is written by none other than Diana Wynne Jones(one of the best fantasy author,Just saying)it is the first book of the Chrestomanci series.the book received positive reviews.

 The good
.Excellent Cover(One of the best cover I have ever seen)
.The story is definitely one of Diana's best,filled with absolutely charming characters and with a memorable story.
.Nice illustration

The bad
.To short
.I really hoped the ending eloborated on what will happen more after the ending

. Quick summary Gwendolen is a gifted witch she always things done her way so her brother Cat(Eric) really admires her.One day when they were on a ship the ship sank luckily Gwendolen knew magic so she and Cat(who was holding her tightly)survived.Unfortunately their parents didn't,The mayor decided to let them stay with anyone who might take them in and where they wil feel the most comfortable.They picked a witch named Mrs Sharp they stayed there a while until gwendolen felt bored and sent a letter to Chrestomanci(A powerful Enchanter) after a while Chrestomanci arranged them to stay with him.chrestomanci arranged them to stay with him and have classes with his children but the downpoint is they cannot learn magic to much of Gwendolen complain..............I guess that's it.

The conclusion While most of Diana Wynne Jones' book were aimed for young readers but luckily enven adults will find them enjoyable to read.To me Charmed Life doesn't reach the epic of howl's Moving Castle but Charmed Lifesurely has more depth in the characters.While the story is short it is definitely humourous and memorable everything works except the ending which I felt a bit rushed.Charmed Life may not be a book you might read when you're looking for a great epic fantasy but you should certainly pick this book if you're just looking for a sweet great fantssy novel or perharps if you're trying to find something like Harry Potter.
