Please note; my star rating on any book is completely subjective and limited to the label for each star.

1 Star I didn’t like it
2 Stars It was okay
3 Stars I liked it
4 Stars I really liked it
5 Stars It was amazing!

If I do actually have something to say about a book other than what my enjoyment factor was, I will write a review and share my thoughts. If I say I didn’t like a book but there wasn’t anything about it that I thought needed to be shared, then that’s it, I just didn’t like it.

If you’d like to start a discussion about a book or you’d like an actual review, ask any question you like and I’ll be happy to try and comply/respond.

Additional note; I do not feed the trolls. If you don’t have something constructive to say, or if you can’t say it in a respectful way, you won’t get a response from me. Ever.

Awesome fact first- this author was a former CEO / early pioneer of cloud computing / founder of a robotics company and I so so so love that his midlife career change was to write awesome books that involve shape shifting cat people for his three daughters. It’s never to late y’all! (Not the first kid-inspired author I’ve heard of either. Justin Cronin wrote The Passage for his daughter who wanted ‘a zombie story’)

I really enjoy this middle grade series and this third installment didn’t disappoint. However, it took place in the woods and outside of the manor a lot more than the previous two, which made it loose a touch of charm for me. I am looking forward to Beatty’s new series which he promises to merge character with this one at some point!

The third installment of the Serafina series was yet another brilliant addition. Robert leads you through the story in the way you are used to: with vivid descriptions strengthened by a magnificent choice of words. He lets you fall in love with the characters, and it leaves you a bit empty when the story is over. In a complete positive way. Really enjoyed this one!

The first of it dragged, but the ending was great. A true theme of friendship and good versus evil prevailing.
