\"sherryl<\/a>The Anger of Angels<\/strong>
\nby Sherryl Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was so excited when I heard that award-winning author Sherryl Jordan had a new book coming out. The Raging Quiet<\/em> is one of my childhood favourites – I\u2019ve read it so many times over the years I almost know it by heart. A few years ago I was utterly charmed by Ransomwood<\/em><\/a> and now I\u2019ve fallen in love with this latest historical fantasy from Sherryl Jordan.<\/p>\n

I went into The Anger of Angels<\/em><\/a> with high expectations and I\u2019m delighted to say that it was sheer perfection! This book is just so captivating and full of heart. I was instantly charmed by the characters and enchanted by the world – I\u2019m sure this is another Sherryl Jordan book I will be re-reading again and again.<\/p>\n

Authors like Sherryl Jordan<\/a>, Margaret Mahy<\/a>, Isobelle Carmody<\/a>, Juliet Marillier<\/a> and Diana Wynne Jones<\/a> had such a huge influence on me as a young reader. It is a joy beyond words to read a new book by one of these \u201cguiding light\u201d authors who shaped my childhood. I\u2019m so excited by the thought of all the young readers who will soon have their imaginations set on fire by The Anger of Angels<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This book offers young readers a wonderful blend of adventure, mystery, suspense and romance,. Following the story of Giovanna – the daughter of a jester with a talent for juggling and knife throwing –\u00a0The Anger of Angels<\/em><\/a> is set in a fantasy version of Renaissance Italy. The characters are lovely, the world is vibrant and vividly painted, and the story is powerful, uplifting and insightful.<\/p>\n

It was a pure pleasure to be carried away by this beautiful story about love, courage, art and the power of words. I sincerely hope that Sherryl Jordan has many more stories like this one up her sleeve because I am greedy for more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
