![]() It had an intriguing and gripping plot and has introduced me to a fantastic new author who I am definitely going to keep an eye on. The book had wonderful characterizations throughout and an extremely likable heroine. When everything is finally revealed it's a shock to all parties. I thought that this was a really clever way of narrating the story, because like Louisa, the reader has to only guess at why she's ended up in Wildthorn Hall and share her confusion over the behaviour of the people from her past. This leads the reader with her on a journey towards discovering the acts that lead to her imprisonment. ![]() I absolutely adored this book!

Then there are the Goyl, human-like creatures with skin made of stone. Giants and dragons are believed to be extinct. There are dwarves, witches, fairies, watermen and half-giants. In the Mirrorworld, the creatures from all the fairy tales ever written are alive. Jacob Reckless a twenty four year old man from New York is a treasure hunter and his hunting ground is the Mirror world, a world very similar to our own with one exception. I expected a magical, fast paced adventure story. So I was really excited not only to see what has changed, but also to meet the new characters. It plays in the same fantasy world like the Inkheart books but five hundred years later, no longer a medieval but an industrialised world. I loved Cornelia Funke’s Inkheart trilogy and now she’s started a new series called Reckless. When I picked up Reckless, I didn’t really know what to expect. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Spiveys are so terrified that they pack up and leave the house. Things appear normal until the broom's phantom-white ghost begins stalking the Spiveys' house. Minna Shaw surprisingly agrees, and the broom is burned. The boys' parents demand that the broom be burned at the stake. The broom, apparently angered, beats them and flings their dog over the forest. Shortly afterwards, two boys begin to harass it. While most of the neighbor women and children are comfortable with the broom, the men are concerned that it had been a witch's broom. She discovers that the broom is harmless, as all it does is sweep, but she teaches it how to feed the chickens, chop wood, and play the piano. Minna Shaw discovers the broom is still in her house and leaves it alone but is startled, and more than a little afraid, when it comes to life later that evening. Minna Shaw takes her in until she recovers, and when she does, the witch calls a friend to "drive" her home, leaving her own broom behind. ![]() One evening, a witch falls from her broom when it suddenly loses the ability to fly, causing the witch to crash-land in the garden near Minna Shaw's house.
