*Originally Reviewed at Witchmag's Boekenplank* Reading his book had its moments. Some good, some not so quite. The story as such is quite captivating. We have a princess who has to marry a man she can’t stand. Unless she manages to find another suitable candidate. At the same time she gets involv...
Legacy was a wonderful fantasy story of duty, love and loyalty. I loved how each character evolved through out the book and that you could connect to all of them on some level. The plot was a bit typical YA with forbidden love but it had dark undertones that were never fully brought to light, teasin...
A new world, intriguing court life and an ancient prophesy: Legacy carries all the hallmarks of a kick-arse Fantasy, but it ultimately fails on execution and wasn't as enjoyable as I had anticipated. The book is a romantic story masquerading as a Fantasy: most the plot revolves around Princess Alera...
I'm trying to think of how to talk about this book without being mean. I'll try for blunt and hope it doesn't come across to badly. Here's the story: Alera is stuck with the likelihood of marrying a guy she actively dislikes. She's muffled by rules that keep woman from holding power. But out there i...

It was more a case of my curiosity than an actual love for the book. I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to - I think it was that i...
One star for the pretty cover, one for the pretty writing.I'm currently just over half way in this book, and nothing has happened that makes me want to keep reading.I'm sure we all have that writing we did when we were fourteen, fifteen. But I never ever let anyone see mine, let alone publish it!Ale...
Alora who was quite stubborn, full of wit and spunk, fought against authority and her duty, like most 17-yr-olds. Once she decided she didn't like Steldor, that was it... nothing was going to change her mind. The only problem I had with the whole thing, was the lack of Narian's personality. Most o...
