I loved watching “The Woodlies” growing up it was such a great animation. This book reminded me so much of that show!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 was an adventurous, fun, informative and engaging story about discovering nature’s secrets with the Gollogans delving deep into the environment and destructions made by humans.

If you love nature and want to protect it then I would absolutely recommend you to read this book!

Also even though this is the fourth and final book in the series you can read it without reading the other books first. I haven’t read them yet either but I could fully understand everything.

𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐳 was an incredibly brilliant, gory and breathtaking read about cyber bullying gone too far. Containing beautiful illustrations, texts and great characters. It was short, brutal and honest. I absolutely loved it, the ending was spectacular as well!

I’ve had so much reading it, if you’re into extreme horror, don’t hesitate to pick up this fantastic book.

Thank you so much Aiden for providing me an ARC of your book in exchange for my honest review.

If you love nature, animals and want to make a difference in the environment then this book is for you.

There was so many deep meanings throughout the story about climate change and how people treat nature and animals. It was an adventurous, engaging and beautiful read. I highly recommend it to everyone!

“ℐ𝓃𝒹𝑒𝑒𝒹, 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝒾𝓈 𝓃𝑜 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓊𝓃𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓇𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒...“

This was such a lovely prequel novella to “The Girl from Füred” trilogy. It was Ria’s and Konrád’s love story and how they find a way to be together even though they come from different backgrounds.

I enjoyed it, it was wonderful to be back in this world even for 36 pages.

Ahh Mihály is literally the sweetest, he would give up everything to be with Anna, and he did. ♡

I’m in tears from happiness, this novel was like a warm hug to my soul. I have no words to describe how magical and beautiful this book was. The ending was so perfect as well, it left me feeling so much joy and calmness.

If you’re Hungarian please don’t hesitate to read this trilogy ASAP! I loved it so so much, Mihály is one of the best book boyfriend ever and the characters were so well written they felt like family to me. The plot is truly the most unique story ever, a time travel historical romance novel. It definitely became a new all time favorite of mine!

Now all I have left is to read the prequel novella which is very short unfortunately. All I wish to read this trilogy for the first time again!

DNF at 41%

I tried my hardest to get into this book and start enjoying it but after 41% I needed to realize how bored I am. I constantly wanted to put down the book and I was on my phone so much because I didn’t wanted to pick up this novel.

I’m sad I didn’t DNF’d it sooner but since it’s for a book tour I truly tried my best.

I feel so emotional right now as I’ve just finished reading this novel, I even teared up at the end. The ending was so beautiful and I’m looking forward reading the last book in this trilogy to see how this beautiful love story will get the closure it deserves.

There was so many absolutely heartbreaking scenes and heavy topics. ❤️‍🩹😢 It was a brutally honest novel. The first book was raw as well but there were definitely a lot more lightness in it. I don’t typically need trigger warnings, I don’t get triggered easily but this was such a challenging and difficult read… There was so many unnecessary animal deaths. I didn’t enjoyed those parts when they were even talking about animal deaths or hunting. I found those scenes cruel as a vegetarian and animal lover. Also they were too many of those scenes and so detailed, they were very triggering to read.

Uhhh I’m so conflicted right now, there were so many situations in the book that just kept happening again and again. Anna’s jealousy was a main thing (especially at the first half of the book) and I mean I get it, it was a different time in 1764 men were different but seriously! After a while her jealousy and irrationality were too much for me as a reader. Which is so sad because without a question I absolutely loved the first book in this trilogy.

The hardest thing with this book that the good parts doesn’t override all the bad things that I didn’t enjoyed in it. But in the same time the ending was so good and emotional. I didn’t hated this book at all, don’t get me wrong because I enjoyed it, in the end, mostly the second part of the book.

I decided to give this one a 3 star rating and I truly cannot wait to pick up the continuation story this one.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 was a very interesting novel, it was adventurous sometimes heartbreaking and full of great ideas. The ending surprised me, I didn’t expected it but it definitely suits the story.

I find it very interesting that this novel was written in 1895 according to the future predicted in the novel, about humanity and change of the world. It definitely was a very clever and captivating story that delves into some deeper topics as well about humanity and nature.

I really enjoyed Wells writing style and storytelling. I believe Weena’s character is very important part of the book and for Wells to critique Victorian society through her on the treatment of women.

Also there was this question at the end of Audrey’s listen-along which very intrigued me.

“𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚍𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚞𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 "𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚝"?”

Such an interesting question to think of. Honestly I probably would be afraid to travel to the future to see all the destruction human race has done to our Earth, it would be terrifying to see how far humanity has gone. Yes, maybe these aren’t the most positive outcomes but as of climate change and destruction is right now I can’t predict any better.

After coming back to the “present” I definitely would do everything in my power to make a change in our world and try to make a difference.

I wish I had a time machine though to go back in time and see my Daddy again…

I highly recommend this classic if you want to read a thought-provoking novel that will make you think but is also very adventurous and exciting.
