I enjoyed Magyk because it was funny, interesting and there were a lot of twists in the plot. I also enjoyed the fact that it was narrarated by almost all of the characters at some point in the story. I recommend Magyk to fans of fantasy books.

Review
The Map to Everywhere is a funny and exciting book set in a creative world full of pirates and wizards. I liked it because it had a lot of adventure and danger, but it was still funny. If you enjoyed The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursu or Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland you will probably like The Map to Everywhere.

Review
The Glass Sentence is an amazing adventure set in a wonderful world filled with maps. The Glass Sentence has an intricate plot filled with twists, turns and adventure, however younger readers may find the story a bit hard to follow. I think The Glass Sentence is a great read for adventure lovers, or fans of Inkheart and The Girl Who Could Fly.

Review
I enjoyed reading The Fairy Tale Matchmaker as a light read. The characters in this book have very unique fairytale personalities, and I also like the way E.D. Baker added people from different fairy tales into the plot. The Fairy Tale Matchmaker is a great read for fans of E.D. Baker’s other fairy tale based books.
