Book thoughts: Glassheart by Katherine Orton

Blurb: 
An enchanting magical adventure set in the wild moors of Dartmoor – the second middle-grade novel from the bestselling author of Nevertell.

Through the glass, the magic is waiting…

Nona and her uncle travel everywhere together, replacing stained-glass windows in war-torn buildings. When a mysterious commission takes them to the lonely moors of Dartmoor, Nona discovers a wild and powerful magic which threatens everything. Can Nona protect those she loves – even if it means fighting darkness itself?

My thoughts: This is a fast paced, action packed story, that draws you in quickly and keeps you hooked from start to finish. 
Katherine’s writing style is smooth, and enticing. It flows beautifully which makes it very easy to lose yourself in her magical world and enchanting tale. 
Her characters are believable and well crafted. Her settings and descriptions make it easy to imagine yourself there alongside Nona and Caster. Feeling what they feel, in a way that other books often fail to do. 
This is a definite must read for fantasy lovers and a book I could see any one being able to enjoy. It certainly one I’ll be recommending to my son, as I know he would love this. I’ll certainly be reading more by this author in the future.
