I meant to inform you of my new read but I was out of town when I started this book. I'm now about halfway through and not a whole lot is happening. The story focuses around a caseworker investigating an orphanage. But this isn't a normal orphanage. This is a home for children that are special. I'm saying special because they are magical in a way. One of the children at this orphanage is a type of shifter of some sort and that is all I'm going to say. You'll have to read the book to learn about the different children at this orphanage. Anyways, the caseworker is at the orphanage to see if everything is running fine. I guess the company that they work for wasn't getting reports up to their satisfaction and had to send someone to do it for them. The caseworker at first feels like they are in over their heads when they first arrive but eventually it seems that they are warming up to the children and everything going on. But there is still the big mystery that has to be solved. That mystery is the master of the orphanage, Mr. Arthur Parnassus. I'm quite curious who he is and that keeps me reading. Also this book tends to go by faster than you realize because you get pulled in right away. I'm curious on how this book will end.

Well I'm almost done with the book and I already can see how this book is going to end. It is kind of predictable if you ask me. But since I'm a completionist, I'll keep reading until I get to the last page. Anyways, I did enjoy the read. But would I give it five stars? Probably not. It's more like three, if I'm feeling generous. The book is okay and it was a nice read but it didn't grip me. I was just reading it because it was enjoyable but I feel like the book just wasn't for me. I did enjoy some of the characters but the storyline was a little....repetitive. I've seen so many stories where the main character is so set in their ways that they end up in a place that changes their views on life to the point that their old life doesn't suit them before. Like I said, I enjoyed the read but we could have a little bit of a uniqueness to the story. It seems like since losing my passion in reading I've become a little harsher with my thoughts on books that I read and I feel a little bad about it. Sadly, it is the truth. That is how I feel and I like to be honest. Will I recommend this book to someone? I would. It's not a bad book, it is just something I've seen many times before and it isn't for me, because that kind of storyline gets old after a while. But feel free to check out the book, I'm sure some of you will love it.
