Djinn by Poppet: Review
Djinn by Poppet
Poppet has an amazing
imagination, but more than that she has the strength of plot and characters in
her work...and I’ll tell you how I know this. I could not read Djinn in one
sitting (or at most two as I usually do when reading to review a book), because
life got a bit hectic. When I returned, however, I discovered I had not lost my
place in the story because Poppet’s characters stayed with me and were waiting
for me to continue the journey! No problem with plot either; I got right back
into it.
I recommend that you,
reader, go to it in one or two sittings, because then you’ll get the entire
vivid experience, the heart thumps and the ‘oooh’s’! You’ll love and hate the
genie in a book, never quite knowing whether to trust it or not...until all is
revealed. And that is as much as I’ll reveal here: grab your copy today!

Hi, it's me! I'm currently updating this space, so bear with odd sizes and gadgets until I like it enough to leave it as is.
Thanks! :)

Tattle Tale: Not quite how...
Everything is not what it
seems. Folk say this with sly winks and knowing nudges. Shoot them!

Flash Friday: about a village
The San village
was akin to all clan villages in that it was entirely enclosed with one main
gate as access. The enclosure was a huge wooden fence constructed of logs as
thick as a man’s waist and towered three times the height of an average person.
Other villages used man-made and natural barriers- cliff-faces, mountains, a
ravine- but whatever it was, all villages were enclosed. For generations the
gates had nevertheless stood open. The paranoia after Drasso had gradually
ceased. Within, each family maintained abodes, from where they left each
morning to tend the fields, or to the task earning their place in the village.
Each evening, before the sun set, they returned. One day in every eight was
given over to rest…and the periodic feast day. At night only travellers were
found on the paths and ways that connected villages and clan holds, but
travellers were few.
