Hello!

Today I publish a post about my #lobook initiative. Here, I share my experience about a book, beginning from the buying and finishing with my personal review. You can read more about lobook, consulting my first Lobook post here on Blurt.


AND NOW, LET'S GO!

This new episode takes a cue from the Herbie Brennan's novel, published with the title Ruler of the Realm (dated back to 2006 for the native version). The Italian version I read is La Guerra degli Elfi – Il regno in pericolo, first publication in Italy dates back to 2006 and curated by Angela Ragusa. In the image below, you can see a cover picture from which I removed a few parts, trying to avoid possible direct advertisings.

I purchased this book several years ago in a local bookstore and decided to reread the entire series it is part of in the last few months. Surfing the web here in Italy for the Italian version, I found an edition only (except for second-hand books) with a price equal to €11.00 about. You can find different price on your homeplace or online, someone with various offers. Maybe there is even an ebook format in Italian or English. I don't know for other languages.

TURNING PAGES

In the kingdom of the elves, a series of machinations is taking hold that once again threatens to bring the fate of the kingdom's lands to a point of no return. A war looms on the horizon, but the most striking thing is that the most aggressive supporters of this scenario are those who remain in the shadows once again...

Third episode of the saga of the Faerie Wars, with Aurora, Henry, Phyrgus, Mr. Fogarty and many other protagonists busy unraveling a plot that I found quite convincing. The writing follows the style used for the other two novels, of which I have already published the reports in recent weeks. The genre is a fairly simple fantasy, where the prevailing feelings are more suited to adolescent silhouettes and the plot isn't as complex as in some decidedly more intricate conspiracy stories. Perhaps this is an advantage, but it depends on taste: I think it's suitable for people who tend to fall asleep in front of long pages about palace conspiracies and scenes tied together by threads as thin as a needle.

Pages: 375 about

Genre: FANTASY | YOUNG ADULT

PERSONAL RATING

For my personal rating of the book, I usually use two votes: a GENERAL VOTE, based on a more objective approach to the text (where I consider for example the author's way of writing, the plot, any errors found, etc), and an INVOLVEMENT VOTE, based instead on the effect that reading had on me (if it attracted me, if it intrigued and tempted me, if it gave me useful information, etc.). Each of the two ratings is marked with a number of stars, from one to 5.

In the case of Faerie Wars – Ruler of the realm, my personal response is:

GENERAL Vote: 3/5
INVOLVEMENT Vote: 4/5
