review 1: This is a bit strange book. It's well written so it isn't hard at all to follow stories, while enjoyably drawing all details about the world been told in your mind. Still, somehow the story failed to convince me of its reality. The story of the Duke is enchanting and I somewhat liked Jeremy and May but couldn't bear with Cecily. She acted like a 5 year old. It never convinced me May and Cecily were friends. Somehow all events and relationships in the book felt blurred by fog and thus distant and surreal. Even though this book has its charm, I think it could've been better.
review 2: The Children of the King by Sonya Hartnett- 5th grade and up – Just loved this book… somehow I really didn’t get the twist at first… I like when a book surprises me though. ... moreGreat story, interesting development and loved how an uncle can have storytelling mixed throughout. It left me wondering a little to be honest, which is ok… there were some things just not wrapped up… This book brought me back to listening to the YA book Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly and I was thrilled to be transported back to that book. There’s some interesting layers that all develop beautifully. The narrator sometimes does coach the reader at times a bit too much for my liking but even those bits were memorable and helped move the story along. Can tell why it won Australia’s CBC Young Readers Book of the Year for 2013! less
