Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Review

As many geeks out there I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newest adventure in the Harry Potter Universe. Yes its in play format which takes a little while to get used to. Even though there were plenty of articles and announcements that this book would not be written in the same way the rest of the books were written but people have still be shocked at the format.
Let's make this clear. This story is in PLAY FORMAT. It still gives you the story it just doesn't have the big descriptions and internal dialogue you'd get from the original books. Trying to imagine the story being done on stage makes me really wonder how they pulled some of it off.
The whole story revolves around Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy and their relationships with their fathers. Its hard to be a son to Harry Potter, especially when you aren't a perfect kid and wizard like your older brother. And its hard to be the son of a former Death Eater especially when your parentage is in question.
The children as usual are the stars of the story but it wouldn't be a Harry Potter story without the original crew who are a prominent part of the story.
I highly recommend this for anyone who loves this universe. It may take you a little to get used to the format but once you get through a few scenes it starts to draw you in just like every other book of the series.

Girl of Myth and Legend

Leonie is a seventeen old girl who is stuck in her routine of life. That is until she falls to the ground and begins to glow, which is the beginning of a brand new life. She is of a race called the Chosen, which her father has been hiding from her her whole life. She apparently is a Pulsar, the first in two hundred years, and everyone wants to control her, and she doesn't even know if she wants to be part of that world.
I enjoyed the world that the Girl of Myth and Legend takes place in. I felt like the pacing of the book was a bit off. The beginning was rushed, I'd have liked to get to know Leonie a bit more before she changed. And the travel to her new land I really enjoyed the wonder Leonie felt and the complexity of Korren, her kytean companion. I look forward to the next book in the series, and recommend this book overall as a good modern fantasy read.
I received this book for review at NetGalley.
