⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

Another great book by this author’s hand. I fully hooked on the Cracklock Saga.

In this book, we meet our favourite Brownie, Dorcas. We knew she was kind of a badass, but what made her the person she was?

What I liked about the book:

The book is well-written and action-filled.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Like the other books in the series, it was difficult to put the book down, and I was at risk of not getting enough sleep (just kidding, the book was just that good).

My favourite bits in the book:

The entire book.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is a stand-alone within the series, and fits well at any time you wish within this series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Like stories about faeries and goblins? This is a story like no other.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book to the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like fiction with a bit of fairy dust, but lots of action and evil goblins, too, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Bad things happen to good Folk; such is the nature of the world... Friend and Nanny to the Cracklock's for generations, Dorcas the Brownie is a firm fixture in the family. But it wasn't always that way. Our Dorcas has a dark and terrible past—one where innocent mischief leads to a nefarious plot to expose Faery to our world. True friendships will be shattered, and the evil nature of lifers exposed for all to see. Join Dorcas in her early years. What happened at the lake with Jenny Greenteeth? Why did Dorcas become such a scrapper? And how did she come to join the family she loves so much? This is a tale not for the faint of heart….
