Glimmerglass

Hi, everyone - I am Lys's Mom. As I am starting to give you my first blog of the Glimmer glass, Lys just took a drink from my glass of my milk which I just poured. Grrrrr. I always believe that we should share but leave a little for me. Ok? The reaction I get is a little smile but she continues on drinking  my glass of milk.... To let you know, she did leave me a little.
Now, back to my thoughts of this book. When I started reading, I had images of movies that popped in my head that were similar to what was happening in the book. So, far I got "What a Girl Wants" and "Mortal Instruments." So, far that I have read, is a girl that has been raised by a mother that has a drinking problem. The mother says bad things about the girls' Dad when she is sober to make her stay with her but then again tells her great things when she is drunk. So, the girl decides to go and call her Dad to meet him. So, she runs away from her Mom. It isn't exactly like the movie but you get the just. The girl travels to London and then to Avalon, which is the border between the real world and the magical world. Here the girl is sort of kidnapped before she meets her Dad for the first time by her Aunt. Her Aunt kept her in a cell for safe keeping and guarded by something very huge. She was rescued by the gorgeous guy and sister, gee didn't see that coming, right? Still she hasn't met her father, she has been attacked by monsters that look like twigs and their is a battle of politics in the magic kingdom. The Good versus Evil motif. Who will win and it all will depend on the girl's life. Still I like to know- when is she going to meet or see her dad. So, I will continue reading the book just to see when will she meet him and will her image of him be what she dreamed of. Till next time..... bye.

 Hello Everyone. I am back for another review of this book. As of now, it is late and Lys is sitting next to me to make sure that I will write this blog. So, to let you know that I am almost done with this book. Yay! This is what is going on. The main character has finally met her father but found out that she holds some special powers that every Human and Fae politician wants her for, including her father. All she wanted was a normal life and she is regretting about leaving her mother in the US. Now, she has found out that is the reason why her mother took her away and kept moving alot in the US. To keep her safe and not to be used as a tool.in Avalon's politics. So, while her body guard's son is teaching her self defense, she just found out that her mother is on her way to come after her. Now, I can't wait to see if she will escape Avalon without any problems or that the Fae politicians will keep her there in Avalon.

Well, I finally finished this book. It took me awhile to get motivated to do it but Yay it is done. Of course, we all know that she was going to see her mother. Also, that there was going to be a confrontation with her 2 parents in what to do with her. Mother wants to take her home and the Father wants to keep her there in Avalon with him. Of course the Father won because he was a politician after all.

The last part of the book was very predictable. It sort of reminded me of a horror movie and the lady always goes in a dark room and hollers, "Is there anyone there?" Like Lys always says, the killer is going to holler back and say, I am the killer and I am going to kill you. In this case, the main character talked to her Mom and says that she will come home with her if she admits that she has a drinking problem but Mom doesn't. She sneaks out of her Father's house in the dark, with one of the bad boys that she is attracted to. She arrives at the hotel and goes to her Mom's room,  now you remember that the Fae people are watching her and some want to kill her, doesn't she think that her Mom is being watched too????? Apparently, not. Well, anyway - don't want to give it away but she is captured again and her Mom is kept at gunpoint. You can use your imagination for the rest. I will tell you that she was rescued and her mom was ok too. But, now her life is even in more danger that she is a faeriewalker and have some magical powers. Faeriewalkers don't have magic powers but she is a special one and she can't tell anyone that she can do certain things with magic. Her life is becoming more complex than before. There is another book so I would like to know, which bad boy she starts to befriend more.
