The song for the stained novella's all feature diversity and they are all clean reads. Bringing young adult fantasy to readers of all ages, from 10up, and diversity to all children. These books are stand alone, allowing the reader to read just one, but they are also woven into each other and readers of the series will be delighted to see what their old favourite characters are up to.
Inspired by works such as Tamora Pierce and Maria V Snyder, these stories are a traditional fantasy, with a kiss ass type female protagonist, the heroin, with a destiny and a mission that will change her life.

Cassandra also enjoys writing creative non-fiction. She grew up in rural and remote Australia and remembers riding horses, working with helicopters and being homeschooled. Now on the coast with her three children she enjoys the beaches in summer and the nearby snowy mountains in winter
I really liked this book! Cassandra Webb does an amazing job to introduce a magical world and two interesting main characters in such a short story. She gives both short glimpses of what have been and an ending which makes you wonder of what could happen next.
The differences in what magic is powerful and useful makes me think about how we see on different skills and talents in different ways. Something that seems useless to someone could be seen as vital for another. We all need to remember that all skills and talents have their own use and power.
Dark Star; By Cassandra Webb. (Source: I received this E-Book direct from the author; Cassandra Webb, in exchange for my honest opinion and Review. ) Remember lives in a world of magic, she lives a quiet life with her mother; That is until Leon enters her life bringing forth a life of spying and deception.
Cassandra Webb has a unique way of writing; I find her stories are recognizable. The story is a short novella, telling you a short story of a girl called; Remember. It’s a very quick read it roughly took me 45 minutes from start to finish.
Dark Star, is a perfect read For Young Adult, and I would say even younger, children from 9 - 10 upwards would have no difficulty with this book. Cassandra Webb keeps everything clean and brings you into a Fantasy world of Magic. A heroin with a Destiny, Life Changing Missions!
What I immediately liked about this Novella is the cover art, the map (side note: maps are always a plus in my book!), I liked that although it is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. I also liked the story line and that it is a clean read. In my opinion it is most suitable for younger readers. As an adult reader I enjoyed being able to read a solid fantasy story without the time commitment of a novel.
Note: I was given an ARC copy by the author in exchange for an honest review. It doesn't in any way shape or form influence my review. I ended up purchasing the Kindle Edition.
