Wishbound
Book Review
I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in make-believe, or likes to get completely absorbed into the storyline!
My favourite character in this story has to be Leonie because of her resilient personality and understanding of freedom. I loved how in the middle of the story she pushed through even though she was in pain as she broke the 1 mile rule.
If I described the story it would be: Magic, fantasy, blackmail. I love how the magical elements dramatically build up during the first few paragraphs.
I really enjoyed this book, it was very easy to read and caught my attention quickly (I would like it even more if Thomas Dragmar didn’t blackmail Leonie!)
I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in make-believe, or likes to get completely absorbed into the storyline! I believe the message of the story is – Never give up. Be resilient.
