Pure, old storytelling of the best kind. I do believe Tolkien, Rowling, Collins, and Lewis may have found their match...
This first Storytellers book exceeded my expectations by far. The main character, Hannah, is an enigmatic, intelligent and relate-able heroine, not soon forgotten; her travels as well are far from rote. I found myself gripped as the story rapidly progressed in intricacy, complexity and speed as time went on...so much so, that I only noticed later, when I put it down at 2 am, that I had read the book non-stop from start to finish!
I was pleased to discover that although the book seemed in a few places to nod at various influences (Dr. Who, Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Homes stories, etc.) it was by no means a "copy novel"; this is a story ALL of it's own right. I am eagerly anticipating the second book!
Great debut, do give it chance!
