About this deal

When Margaret is called upon by Vida Winter, a famous author, to come and write her biography she has no idea what she is in for with this woman. Ingots of Gold – first published in Volume 102, Number 1 on 16 June under the title The Solving Six and the Golden Grave.

Also, the main character has a personal torment that feels a little bit exaggerated. However, I am not in her place so I wouldn't know how I would react. Did I find it to be “a love letter to books” as has been so oft claimed? Eh, I guess, but only a certain kind of books. Jane Eyre-kind of books. This was a pretty cool book, easy to read and funny. There are some drawings done by the author, and I really appreciated them because I could see exactly what he was envisioning. There were a few spelling errors here and there, but nothing to take me out of the story. I really enjoyed going on the journey with Logan and Aurora and I'm curious to see what happens next with those two! All in all, a good read :) Logan is an orphan who grew up in a small town at an orphanage where he met his best friend Aurora. At 18 Logan is sent to become an Imperial Soldier. He soon finds himself training as an Imperial Ranger to be sent on a quest for the secret to eternal life.All but one of the stories (the exception being The Four Suspects) first appeared in the UK in monthly fiction magazines. That being said, I had a difficult time getting and staying engrossed in the book. I found the color-coding more distracting than helpful and often used the changes as an excuse to go do something else.

Margaret Lea: a bookstore owner's daughter, whom Vida Winter asks to write her biography. The primary narrator of the book. A flamboyant and adventurous tale of fantasy at its best and for everyone who dares to dream of all things wondrous in all its glory. An interesting mix of old style and modern elements that surround majestic wizardry, dark sorcery, fairies, and, yes - even a flying ironing board.The author’s style was light and energetic. His description was effective and drew you into the story. I know there were several times throughout the book where I found myself relating to the main character and many times I even thought ‘that’s happened to me, too’. Which is ridiculous considering the storyline, but there you are. Now Margaret Lea is investigating Angelfield’s past – and the mystery of the March family starts to unravel. What has Angelfield been hiding? What is its connection with the enigmatic writer Vida Winter? And what is the secret that strikes at the heart of Margaret’s own, troubled life? In the modern usage, the words "evil twin" and "doppelganger", have come to be virtually interchangeable. While the evil twin does not connote the sense of "supernatural harbinger of death", it can be used to mean "a physical copy of one's self that has an altered morality".
