Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell

 



Katherine Rundell’s *Impossible Creatures* is a mesmerizing entry into the fantasy genre that showcases her exceptional storytelling and imaginative world-building. The novel introduces readers to the Archipelago, a hidden cluster of magical islands teeming with mythical creatures and ancient secrets. When Christopher saves a baby griffin from a mysterious lake, he is thrust into an urgent quest with Mal, a girl on the run, to uncover why the magic of the Archipelago is fading and its creatures are perishing.

Rundell’s narrative is brimming with energy and wonder, capturing the essence of an enchanted world through vivid descriptions and dynamic encounters. From negotiating with dragons to battling kraken, the adventure is both exhilarating and richly detailed. The book’s physical presentation—featuring foil and embossing on the jacket, full-color endpapers, and striking red stained edges—further enhances the magical experience, making it a visually stunning read.

While the plot’s intricate nature and frequent shifts between islands and creatures might occasionally overwhelm, Rundell’s imaginative vision and the book’s enchanting atmosphere provide a rewarding experience for fantasy enthusiasts. *Impossible Creatures* is a testament to Rundell’s talent for creating immersive, whimsical worlds and is sure to captivate readers with its blend of magic, adventure, and beautifully crafted storytelling.

The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot                                I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read.

This is a really amazing site. How to actually find a book though is a bit more challenging.

Then in the search box you'll want to type the author or title of the book you are looking for. Make sure you type in the exact title or author, cause if you don't you won't be able to find what your looking for. Such as  if the title your looking for  has a"comma "or a  capital Letter.

Once you are at the book page scroll down past adds and click download  it will send you to a page were you'll need to wait 15 seconds before downloading...
