Jewelz the Juggling Cat por Mary Aris
Overall, this is a cute story for children. Because of the length, I would suggest chapter divisions (75 pages on-going is a bit much). A good editor would improve the readability of the book.
While I liked the story content, I was easily confused with the transitioning from one language to the other. I also had a hard time following the story and a few of the things happening in the story was confusing as well. At one moment you hate Gunter Greene and the next you are seeing an almost endearing side to him that kind of ruins the evil incarnate that he's suppose to be. While I wouldn't deter others from reading this book, I must say it was not as fascinating as I would have hoped.
This was a great read. Yes, it was dark, as the author warns, but well written. I did feel though that the story was more about Gunter Greene than Anna. Throughout the book I was eager to read about Anna and wondering why I was reading so much about Gunter. Anna was the focus briefly toward the end, but I didn't really feel that her "curse" and (spoiler alert) her plan to come back were as elaborate as they could have been again, based on the title. Although I found the story compelling, I was always a little distracted waiting for Anna to appear. The character development was wonderful. Even though Gunter was a horrible monster, the author made him strangely likeable, or at least made the reader sympathetic to him. That is pretty powerful writing considering his actions in the book. The struggle to deal with the innate rage/evil of certain characters surfaced a bit.

A short work by Mary Aris containing 29 poems. Relating to love, relationships and marriage. Although I'm not a huge fan of poems and poetry, these are worth a read. Three in particular stand out for me.... Love's Spirit, Marriage of Souls and Eternal Oath. I feel they would be excellent for couple's to recite at their weddings. All in all, a wonderful quick read that is uplifting and inspiring!
