Switched review

"To write is a passion that comes from within yourself, write the stories that excite you" - unknown

Before I start this review I'd like to say a massive thank you to the artist Carina Grimm for mentioning my blog and to my friend for requesting it. I've only just started out and am amazed people are reading my stuff and I've loved every minute of this. Carina Grimm is amazing, please check her out if you haven't heard of her - http://aelathen.deviantart.com/. Maybe I'll do a post on her in the future if you guys would want to see some of her work. You won't forget it!

 

Now, onto the review. I read this book a while ago and never really forgot it. After reading I went out and got the other two (so worth it).  I've been on a fairy tale high lately (you could probably tell) and I was suddenly reminded of them. First off, I've never heard of this kind of story and it was completely original and really got me excited. The story basis around a young girl named Wendy who has never really felt like she fit in with the people around her. Her mother is in an institution for trying to kill Wendy when she was little and Wendy has never known why. When she meets a boy called Finn at her school he informs her that she really doesn't belong and that she is princess of the Trylle people and her questions begin to be answered. Trylle - don't know what I mean? I mean trolls. Yes, I wrote that right and I love the idea!

 

I won't reveal much more for the fact that this book is a read for those people who love fairy tales and a good leading story and I don't want to ruin it. I really loved the Finn character and the way that Wendy is, I believe that Amanda Hocking has presented her characters clearly and is willing you to fall for them.

 

After reading the blurb and purchasing though, I had another reason for wanting the first book and that is because of the author. She self-published this book, something many people are doing now and I thought that was amazing. I really did.

 

So there you go, if you've read it, please let me know your thoughts?
