Disclaimer: This is not a book review. I know that's what almost everybody else has posted so far, but I wanted to mix things up a little. So here's an original story written by me about the life of a book series. I also want to mention that t he idea for this story began when I was reading the book Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card,  which is a spinoff of the original Ender's Game . But since I already made a review of the Ender series, I came up with this instead.

The Mysterious Affair at styles is a book about a man in a mansion which is owned by the Inglethorp family. Things are going normally, until Alfred Inglethorp's wife gets mysteriously murdered. The world-famous detective Hercule Poirot arrives. He finds out that The wife was murdered because of poisoning in her cocoa. Many theories emerge, including suicide and Mr. Inglethorp himself being the murderer, but it is later reavealed that the real culprit is (I left that part blank because I obviously can't tell you about it. By the way, I discovered this book from a game I played about Hercule Poirot.) My father suggested reading this book because I didn't know what to read for this blog post, and he knew that I played the Hercule Poirot game. So that is how I discovered it. Some aspects I like about the book is that it makes everyone look suspiscious so that you really don't know who the murderer is, until it is revealed. The book also has a great sense of progression, b...

For a long time, heaven, hell, and the mortal world have been fighting in a war. These three worlds are all connected to each other, and if the demons of hell get control of heaven, then both heaven and the mortal world will face severe consequences. The main reason why these worlds are fighting against each other is because of three extremely powerful swords.

Physically, he appears to be somewhere in his teens, and is small but muscular. Throughout the story, he is portrayed as the...
