Blog Tour / Review: Angel Mage by Garth Nix

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Angel Mage by Garth Nix Published by Gollancz on September 30, 2019 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Young Adult Pages: 560 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads More than a century has passed since Liliath crept into the empty sarcophagus of Saint Marguerite, fleeing the Fall of Ystara. But she emerges from her magical sleep still beautiful, looking no more than nineteen, and once again renews her single-minded quest to be united with her lover, Palleniel, the archangel of Ystara. A seemingly impossible quest, but Liliath is one of the greatest practitioners of angelic magic to have ever lived, summoning angels and forcing them to do her bidding. Liliath knew that most of the inhabitants of Ystara died from the Ash Blood plague or were transformed into beastlings, and she herself led the survivors who fled into neighboring Sarance. Now she learns that angels shun the Ystaran’s descendants. If they are touched […]

Pastime Pleasures #19 – The Ragwitch by Garth Nix

Welcome to my  feature, Pastime Pleasures, posted every other Friday. Today is the turn of The Ragwitch by Garth Nix. Here I will look at books that have given me great pleasure in the past. These are books I can read over and over again. The only rule is that the book must have been published five or more years ago. Ok so I chose this one mainly because I thought it would fit in with Halloween and all… This book creeped me out as a child and for a couple of weeks after reading I removed all my teddies and dolls from my room. Before I would have been really excited if they had come to life but after this book I was terrified of this fact. What if they were evil? And wanted to take over the world? Also I really didn’t want to be possessed by a demonic rag doll, like poor Julia. I was extremely sure at the time that I would not be as heroic as Julia or Paul. If they were out of me room at […]

Pastime Pleasures #1 – Sabriel by Garth Nix

Welcome to my new feature, Pastime Pleasures, posted every other Friday, today’s is the turn of Sabriel by Garth Nix. Here I will look at books that have given me great pleasure in the past. These are books I can read over and over again. The only rule is that the book must have been published five or more years ago. Sabriel is a fantasy book which reads like reality, it is a world that is not much different from our own. OK so there are some large difference… There is magic… The dead that refuse to stay dead… And a TALKING CAT!! (Wish my cats would talk). Yet when reading Sabriel the Old Kingdom feels familiar and is a comfortable place to be in. Like Sabriel the reader has to deal with good vs. evil; with coming of age; and with the difficulty of making hard decisions. This is a book you must read. Sabriel is a great introduction into a world that seems so different from our own, yet so familiar. It is a great start to a […]
