Tijaran Tales IV - Tijara's Heart

5✩. "The ending of this book very nearly had me in tears, it was such a shock of emotions, but no spoilers here!Another great book that weaves into the history of Zed and the war that has been the undercurrent of the whole series.It's so easy to get lost in the romance and relationships of these young people, that it's easy to forget that there is a war going on.I am amazed at how well Francesca has managed to weave the books together, with small details in every book linking together to form a magical universe, filled with details that spark your imagination." By N Fisher on Amazon.co.uk

 

5✩ "I really enjoyed this instalment in the series. I was full of action and tough decisions. I also really liked how the characters are growing up, without it going too fast! I read this book in one sitting, and I cannot wait to read the next one." Andra on Amazon.co.uk

 

5✩ "Following on from the awesome ending of the Nuarn rift, Tijara's Heart deals with the fallout of the Arneshians shocking scheme. Although this is a science fiction book F.T . Barbini perfectly captures the human essence in a way that is so realistic! There are moments in the book that show the great responsibility and pressure the students are under, character relationships and how they adapt and change over the course of the book. Teenagers are teenagers and their thoughts/behaviour and emotions are written perfectly! This book serves up a recipe of action, mystery, romance and revelations!! The quality of these books never weakens unlike some other series, it is always perfect! Once again the ending of the book makes your jaw drop, I don't think I have ever been consistently shocked at each ending of the books in a series as I have with TT!" By Marc Livingstone on Amazon.co.uk
