kindle unlimited, worse and worse on the blurbs, no she was never attacted to the dark wizard boy, that was her friend best friend, another very fast book, meaning fast books are good because faster to read BUT NOT when they have typographical, grammatical, continuity, opposites/contradictions {glaring, from earlier passages/books}, still ongoing issues with how is talking, who is talking to who or why or even what as seemingly things rewritten/moved around/left out so no idea, all things that are supposed to be currently going on yet jumps from one day to another, one month or even season to another, and issues/problems brought up in story line but either never talked about again or glossed over repeatedly, and such things as the magic glasses that NEVER mention what Allison did/did not see or 'see', nothing about that at ALL with varous other issues and problems from all directions plus the 'show don't tell' being constantly thrown out,then finally get to end, that really wasn't an ending, again just setting up for next book of series without ever actually being real story in and of itself, it just stopped for no reason again as if the entire book was just one long sorta kind teaser, 2nd time for that and more 90210 teen angst crap psuedo 'twists, turns, happenings' and events that don't lead anywhere or won't for many books ahead, all the while not mentioned or barely or glossed over repeatedly, so in the end not only boring on/off rip-off of Harry Potter but not even passably good one, leading to one question pondered, If a tree is cut down to make a book or even digitally 'print' and so many don't find it worthwhile to read, is it a story/book or just a bad dream/nightmare, signifying eh whatev.

2 Seen And Unseen Stars
Strong Is Her Hope is the fourth book in The School Of Neccessary Magic series by "Judith Berens ".
At this point I'm only continuing the series so I don't miss out on any important milestones in Alison's life while she's in high school. Such as her first boyfriend, Tanner. Or the great group of friends she's now met and bonded so strongly with: Kathleen, Emma, Ethan, Aya, Peter, and Luke. But most importantly her other half, best friend, and sister in misfortune: Izzie.
I like that these books focus on both Izzie and Alison. Izzie's side of this story is surprisingly more interesting that Alison's. Given that I've already read so much about Alison and know both her history, and potential it's not such a shocker. I wonder if there will be any big fallout when Izzie's memories are finally restored. I wonder if her parents are still alive? At this point this author duo seems to have completely forgotten them, along the way.
I thought we would be spending more time actually focusing on how the students learn in class, and what is taught. Alas, it seems this entire series is going to be simply the more emotional aspect. Which is disheartening, especially now that the dialogue is getting more and more cliche. There were far too many scenes in this book where everybody seemed to be in an extremely fake and chipper mood. Which didn't really ring as true to any of the characters.
OOOOOOHHHH, WHERE IS THE PLOT?!?! Let me know when you find it 👀

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Not only was it a step above the previous one, but so much more went on in it.
Alison and Izzie have become like sisters, and each of them have grown ever closer to two of their friends.
Alison with Tanner, the boy with the black spot on his soul, and Izzie with Luke, the shifter who has become an expert player in the VR Magical game that had become so very popular the year before.
Unfortunately, the dark cloud that had interfered with the School the year before, seemed determined to do so even more so, this year.
So, not only did the students have to cope with unexpected events happening, purely because they were teens, and learning more about their different forms of magic, but they also had to cope with ever more nasty interference in their lives at the School.
Both Alison and Izzie also had to cope with their powers growing even faster than the knowledge of Magic they were learning and, to make life even worse for the orphaned Izzie, she has started to have ever more detailed, and darker, dreams.
The girls, with their large gang of misfit friends, do manage to end the school year in one piece, though!
So, now this book is finished, I checked with my reading list, and I'm now to go back on to Shay's series: 'I Fear No Evil', to start reading book five: 'Tomb Raiding PHD', which sounds like fun!
So, I'll finish off this review then, once I've reached the end of this next book, I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think of it!

And extraordinarily entertaining urban fantasy series along the lines of hairy potter
If you like Harry Potter the new were like this series. If urban fantasy is a genre then harry potter should be a genre within that genre and this Siri‘s would fit within the Harry Potter genre. Young adult/adult story of highschoolers going to a magical high school. Learning to develop their magic. In this school there are more than just witches and wizards there are different kinds of magical elves shifters trolls another magical beings that go to the school. There are hidden towns that only people from the magical world can go to that are hidden from the human world. There is a headmistress of the school and the US government knows about the magic and finance the school there is good/the light magic and there is evil/the dark magic and they are continually battling for supremacy. In this series we have a group of students that are a good chunk of the main characters as well as some of the teachers the headmistress a groundskeeper at Cetera.
They interact with humans in the real world when they go into town as well as when they go into the head magical cities that interact with a magical people. A lot of similarities but totally different. As I said if Harry Potter could be a genre the series would fit right in

Confusion is my mind
So many thoughts so many questions. Louper seems to be played a lot different now than in future books or so it seems because I thought it was a total magical game. I thought they were using magic to get around in Raines books. I do not understand why the shifters run away when they have a forced change. My thoughts on shifters is they still have their human minds but an animal instinct so why does everyone freak out? The witches, warlords, and elves would have a way to defend against a shifter to a bigger degree the shifters should be scared of them. I fall in love with Dorvu more and I loved him in Raines books but now I'm enjoying seeing how he came to be. I feel sad that he has to hide and I don't really know why. Obviously he doesn't hide later on. I loved it when he became a boy so why can't he do that more. Finding out that Alison can shape shift is awesome. As if learning from the Valentine's party wasn't a way to say let's not have a buffet because it didn't work out well then why would it be better now? Duh, oh yeah it's a book. Lol I like the author blurb from Jacob and I want to tell Michael to share more with his sons.

Strong is her hope is the next book after Wary is her love, however, this one, like its predecessor, lacked some excitement. There are so many unanswered questions due to the sloppy worldbuilding, this book only serves a slight purpose to future books, which is why it lacked exciting and entertaining things. Once again, Louper was prominent, how I detest that game!
The book says Alison can shapeshift yet here's the problem, in the Alison Brownstone series which focuses on Alison after College, she mentions her not being able to shapeshift. The authors have said they write these books fast, Anderle saying once it took him two weeks, so of course, you'll expect errors like that. The authors have written over a hundred books set in the Oriceren series.
Definitely one of the weakest of the series.

A fun read and I enjoyed this installment of Alison, Izzie and the rest of the gang at The School of Necessary Magic.
Magical misadventures and fun stuff are definitely still in play and the author(s) give readers a very clear sense of time passing as certain developments happen. I got the sense that this particular part of the story is setting the stage for future events. Note that I don't consider that a drawback; every series I've ever read has one or more books where that happens. The intended YA audience may or may not notice this; adult readers almost certainly will.

Where's the excitement?
I love the characters and how things are going for them. But where is the excitement, the suspense, the intrigue? They are all back for another year and now they can choose the clubs and activities that they want to join. Will they each find something? How will their relationships fare as they develop outside interests. A great series but without a good basic plot it's just the normal everyday activities at a magical school. Sadly I won't be reading any more of this series.

Dark magic is afoot
The gang is back at school and both Allison and Izzies' powers are growing, freaking both girls out a bit, not to mention the people around them. The kids are in full swing with their new activities and some extra-curricular activities that may get them in trouble. Also there is an election, can you guess who in our gang is running for office? Dark wizards have infiltrated the school and are messing with the shifters, the Headmistress and teachers are working hard to find the culprits.

Well, the fourth book in the School of Necessary Magic has been finished. Unfortunately it really isn’t any better than the last book in the series.
From confusing and badly written action scenes to the fact the story is for the most part boring, Strong is her hope has little to offer. Not even the main theme helps of Light Vs. Dark… for there is no middle ground from the dark OR the light. One good point though, The characters show growth and potential.
Overall, I still can’t recommend the series. Since I own the whole series though, I’ll keep reading. Hopefully it will turn around soon.

Very, very, very boring
I skipped through 80% of the book. I've only been reading this series as a filler for the Brownstone series. This isn't really a story, but more of a journal about a group of teenagers in a boarding school. There are a few tense moments when you think something bad might happen. But nothing does. The only reason I'm reviewing the book is so that I can tell Amazon not to use it for recommendations.

Excitingly normal
What I love about these books is even though there are no big battles or action scenes, I still can't put it down.
At first it was just because of Alison Brownstone and Mara the head mistress, as I knew them from other books. But now I'm invested in the other characters and I want to see where their story will take me.
Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next one.😀

Still keeping my interest
I'm getting more of the teenage girl vibe, but it doesn't overpower the other elements of the story that intrigue me. The interaction of Izzie and Allison, how Shay and James relate, the elements of the game Louper and the light versus dark and the werewolves, plus the magical world of Oriceran. I'll be looking forward to it coming out.
And I really enjoy the author notes.😼

More threads are added to the tapestry
Little things happen that add up to exciting things in future books, and this book is no exception. The ideas, germs of ideas, are being seeded and teasing us with what might be. So much happens, once again, and I love the balance of dark and light, seriousness and humour. Now... Where's the next book???

Alison and Izzie are still the bomb
Alison and Izzie are sophomores now in school, their dragon is growing fast, and their magical abilities are far surpassing their classmates. Next book they will be Juniors and will become more attuned to their magical powers, and then will be called upon to help their classmates and school.

Power Serve
Alison's and Izie's powers have grown to the point tha professors have not seen the like before in students. Control of their power can be difficult. I like the action, humor and romance. Will Izie remember her past in spite of the spell hiding her memories? I look forward to the next book.

Not bad...but
Ok, I like the characters, and I like the tie in with Brownstone. Only thing I would like to see is More Action. There is a lot of character building, ( that’s nice ) but it leads nowhere. The last two books, I am waiting for some epic battle or event, and ....nothing. I will continue to read, but am really looking forward to something.....

Another great book!
There books just keep getting more exciting and more exciting! Allison and Izzie's friendship is really something to behold! And all the other kids in the magical friends circle round it out greatly! The storyline is getting more and more exciting with every book!

Plagued by the same problems as earlier books. A lot of the description is from the perspective of just after it happens, rather than as it is happening so it’s quite boring. There’s so much potential but not much happens. I’ll keep reading because I love the universe, I’m just sad these books were so rushed.

Loved the ending & the Author notes. Again, you captured the words to weave a fantastic story. The accomplishments were surprising, and fun to read. Some of the consequences were thought-provoking.
Thanks Martha Carr, for putting so much of your love into your storytelling!

good read
I’m enjoying how we written this series is with it’s believable characters and underlying tension of the threat of dark magic hovering in the background. It makes me curious about what will develop next with the characters developing magic, the dragon, the friction between the dark and light magic, and whatever else might occur. 👍👍👍💜

Fun story
Another fun story with Alison. All the characters continue to grow and new adventures abound. Love Dorvu the dragon. Even though I'm not the target audience I still enjoy these story and look forward to them each time.

Strong Is Her Hope:A U.S. Urban Fantasy Action
I loved the Alison books. So full of fun, hope, danger, love and teenage angst and insecurities. I have recommended them to several people with children.

Another year of teen struggle and growth
I have many grown children. This book speaks in a charming way of the complications of magical teenagers growing up. We share their feelings, success, and failures in an intimate way. I relive my own experiences.

Loved how content Alison is with Brownstone as her Dad and Shay as her Aunt. Love the changes happening with Scarlett. Will Izzie finally remember all? What if there was a werewolf who was part elf and one part witch?

High school unlike any other.
Plans within plans, plenty of shadows and teenage issue's. The word problems sounds like there is not a fix. While issue's sounds like there is a workaround so this story handles the issues of a talented teens.

Wonderful Time
I really enjoyed this addition to the story. I think that it is coming along rather nicely, of course the Dark families are annoying but that's what villains are supposed to be. Looking forward to the next one.

Great stories and characters
The stories are thought filled and enjoyable as they relate real life issues in fantasy form. The characters are unique yet very much like a lot of young people growing up. I recommend for any age... I just really like the authors.
