| First Book in 'Trylle' |
This series.......just wow. I loved reading it, every second. One of the most enjoyable series I've read in a long time, and you know why? Not just because it's about Trolls and Troll lore, but because it is so unpredictable!
'Switched' starts with the usual sob story 'mummy tried to kill me because she said I was a monster then was locked up for being cray cray', so she lives with her loving older brother and aunt. Until.....she meets a guy. He stares. She notices. They talk, yadah yadah yadah. Then out comes the secret and BOOM, she's a changeling, a troll baby switched with a human baby, so *gasp* the mum was right.
It's written in first person by Wendy, through her we meet her crush Finn, her brother Matt, her aunt Maggie and then Rhys and Elora! You will probably hate Elora, but then later in the series you will understand why she acts the way she does and you will feel guilt like never before, so just keep an open mind please :)
