Your review really makes me want to read the book, except for the fact that I can't buy books on Amazon!
I think so too! One book I have reviewed also used an obsolete word: "blueth"; which meant, of course, blue, but I think it's really fun to learn words, even if they're old. Also, a nice touch to the book. Aw, that's really sad. How come you can't buy in Amazon? :(

Thanks for commenting by the way! :tiphat:

I don't have a credit or debit card, even otherwise I tend to generally buy second hand books, I get them at 10% of the original price and most books are generally in good condition, that way I can enjoy 10 books at the price of one!

Wow, that is good to hear! Also, I forgot to tell you that this book is I think free for review. Just click on the bookshelves to see if it's still up there. :tiphat:

No, it's not there, also most books that are the free book of the day are often not free when I actually click the link, maybe it's free for US only or something because that has happened so many times!

Weird. It still is free. I just checked it now. Here's the link shelves/book.php?id=252462 . it's actually an EPUB and you have to review it in order to get it for free. The free version is not on Amazon. :)

The link helped, I've downloaded a mobi version for review! Again, thank you so much for the link! I must have been looking for it in the wrong place!

I've seen you all over the forums and was really curious about your reviews. I decided to check one out and I'm so glad I did. Your writing style is so engaging. I made it barely 2 paragraphs in before I decided that I had to read the book. You're an excellent reviewer and I'll definitely be checking out more of your reviews.
Comment on my review and I'll comment on yours. I'm always looking for new books to read!

I would like to note to everyone who is on their way in reading this: the dragon may not be as you have imagined. I found it humorous, but some of you may find it disheartening (I really hope you wouldn't though). Tag me or message me what you think about the dragon. :wink:

Thanks for these wonderful words, I really appreciate it! 😭 though, this puts a lot of pressure for my next review hahaha . The book is available to review on bookshelves. I posted the link in one of the comments here. Hope you'll cgeck it out and feel the same way, or even better, as I did. Thank you so much! :tiphat:

I love both books with magic and books with children as main characters so it seems as if this book is a good fit. Your review really makes the book shine as well. Definitely going on my TBR shelf.

Thanks for the review! There seems to be a really cool art and creativity thread going with it. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.

I just finished reading the book and I genuinely want to thank you! I loved it - especially the 'cute' dragon! Iro would definitely flower at this if I said it to him!

Thank you so much for the recommendation! :tiphat:
