As twelve-year-old David takes refuge from his grief in the myths and fairytales so beloved of his dead mother, he finds the real world and the fantasy world begin to blend.

Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard.

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

For generations the misty Shadowline has marked the boundary between the lands of men and the lost northern lands that are the lair of their inhuman enemies, the ageless Qar. But now that boundary line is moving outward, threatening to engulf the northernmost land in which humans still live - the kingdom of Southmarch.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

Amber Gryce believes in magic the way anyone does: as a thing of the past, marked now only by the long reign of an ancient queen sworn to live until her stolen son is returned to her. Such stories are romantic but distant for Amber, surrounded by family and wealth. But like magic, wealth can disappear. Left destitute, Amber's family retreats to a forest holding far from their city home, where Amber's love of roses leads her into the heart of enchantment

Heralded as an instant classic of fantasy literature, Maguire has written a wonderfully imaginative retelling of The Wizard of Oz told from the Wicked Witch's point of view. More than just a fairy tale for adults, Wicked is a meditation on the nature of good and evil.

A slow start but I soon got sucked in
it certainly takes a bit to get going, but once it does and you get sucked in it's a hell of a ride. I loved the performance I'm sad he's not reading the Land of Lost Things but I'm hopeful that Lucy will do that justice too

To all Book lovers ❤️
The book overall was amazing from start to finish. Great narrator as Nick Rawlinson gives a powerful performance for each of the characters and the overall progression of the story. The story itself had an interesting premise with a very unique twist as we get to know our protagonist through a hero's journey from his introduction to the unknown to his return as a changed man. The supporting cast was amazing along with a great villain. This is a must for the bookaholics and the lovers of fictions, satisfying to the end. 😉😄

Good-ish narrator. God awful everything else.
The narrator just read very slowly. Otherwise he did a great job, doing different voices, etc.
Tho I have no Idea why this book was highly rated. It reads like some underpaid and unmotivated ghostwriter got tasked with writing a fantasy book for children and have it done in a month.
Then, upon completion, the ghostwriter is told: "By the way, can sprinkle some blood and gore in there for shock value? Thanks."
Do you think that books that end with "and then he woke up and it turned out that everything was a dream" are lazy and deserve nothing but being shamed, then don't read this. It's hinted from the start that the MC is delusional, hearing voices, etc. So this really isn't much of a spoiler. It's more of a warning that the book ends as badly as one might fear from the start.
I got invested in zero of the characters. It feels like very little of what happens in the book matters to the rest of the book. It's all just a collection of tropes done badly.
Nothing about the book made me feel something. No jokes, I there were any, were funny. No deaths were sad. Things just happened and I couldn't care less.
It might have been a okay but forgettable children's book, but it's not even that, due to the bloody scenes.
I'd recommend this atrocity to no one. Stay away. It's just a waste of time.
