Brilliantly written! Once you start, you wont be able to put it down!
This story is extremely engaging, well written, and will completely draw you in! The character development is fantastic, making it easy to be apart of the story. A coming of age story starring Skye MacNamara (and My fav Bertram) that young and adult readers who enjoy adventure and mystery will love! You will never find a boring or uninteresting moment in this book. This inventive, clever story marks Sharon as a Seannachie herself. 10/10 - Robert |
Engaging Heroine and Lots of Action
Great story with an engaging heroine and a Canadian prairie setting. The author adeptly develops her main character, making it easy for the reader to connect with her. A lot of action happens in the last quarter of the book, and there is definitely potential for a sequel. I found the writing strong, especially in scenes such as the drowning, and I appreciated the humourous touches. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the three friends who (mostly) tolerate their differences as they work together to solve the mystery. Would recommend for any middle-school or high school teachers looking for a new Canadian author for their classrooms as there are lots of deeper themes here to explore. Looking forward to Ms. Selby's next work! - Prairie Reader |
Excellent Read -- Highly Recommended
This is a fantastic read. Selby has done an outstanding job of blending contemporary fiction with myth, creating larger-than-life characters and a roller-coaster plot that makes the book difficult to put down. It was hard to believe that this is the author's first novel - I couldn't look away! Highly recommended for teenagers and adults. I hope she's working on another one! - Greta Stevens |
Absolutely Amazing and Totally Unique
I absolutely loved every minute of this book, start to finish. I could not put it down and got sucked right into it. I found the different perspective and different take on an alternate "universe" very refreshing and totally fun. It was very unique and kept me on my toes. I can't wait for number 2 (there had better be a number 2...)!! - mandar |
The Storyteller's Daughter is Awesome!
This is a very intelligently written story full of excitement, suspense, emotion, adventure, and so much more. This story made me laugh; it made me cry. I would recommend this story to youth, young adult, and adult readers, as well as those interested in fantasy, Scottish/Celtic mythology, or adventure. "The Storyteller's Daughter" is a definite "must read!" - Tracy |
Wow!
A great read. Had me up late cuz I couldn't put it down. Storyteller introduces a diverse slate of interesting characters against a refreshingly original fantasy backdrop. The story keeps things going with a very good pace, snappy dialogue and a suspenseful plot that's engaging the whole way thru. A definite recommend for the summer reading list... - gnusen |
