This book absolutely blew me away from the first line. It draws you in so well, it feels like you’re a part of the story (and you kind of are!) I don’t want to give too much away, since I really think it’s best to go in knowing as little as possible; so please bear with my extremely vague review. (Maybe I’ll do a book talk soon so I can talk in detail?)

I really loved how we got to see through multiple POVs that were seemingly unconnected until the end! The way everything tied together made so much sense and I liked that it wasn’t something that was easy to figure out sooner.

The characters and world building in this book are absolutely amazing! Everyone is well fleshed out and it really feels like you’re living through them. When you can feel the same emotions as characters and envision the world clearly, how could you not fall in love?

There is also TONS of diversity as well as strong female characters; what more could you want?

For some reason I thought the little extras and hints were printing errors in the beginning and I honestly feel so ridiculous for thinking it, haha. First I saw a fingerprint on one of the pages and was like, “wow, that’s a really big error for a Penguin book.” Then, about 100 pages in, I noticed the words on the bottom of the pages and finally realized that I was missing out on all kinds of clues and hints.

I did some reasearch and found that the author said there were 10+ hidden messages! I am not perceptive enough to find them all, even after going through the book twice; so if anyone else has found more than two please tell me. I need to know!

Overall, I really loved this book. It’s been a while since a book completely blew me away and this really did it for me. I’m absolutely amazed that this is a debut novel, since it was written so well! Also, the books are absolutely gorgeous!

The Reader Traci Chee Books Reviews

I was completely captivated by this debut fantasy novel. A world where there are no books and no one that knows how to read... the idea completely intrigued me. But wait! Books and reading DO EXIST — at least if you are part of the secret hidden society. Then you know all about these mysterious things that hold such immense power in the world. There were so many characters revealed in this story... but it added to, not distracted from the story. In Sephia's interactions in the world at large, it only makes sense that she would encounter so many different people while she goes about her adventures. I truly enjoyed the way the story is told with excerpts from The Book intertwined. I can't wait to read the next!
This book was like opening a treasure box. It was full of believable people with intersecting lives and little jeweled bits of surprises and even one puzzle that it took me half of the book to notice. I was delighted NOT to see the same old cliches that are in fantasy, but the clear original idea that reading is magic. And it is. You pick up some bound pages with black marks and live somebody's life. Magic. I tend to stay away from series until all the books are written because I hate waiting years for the next one but I can solve that problem. Traci Chee! Hurry up and write the next book! There. Took care of that problem.
I read a lot. I read across all genres and (sadly) a huge range of quality gradients. Track Chee is special. If you are looking for a good writer who has the gift of writing in a way that brings fantasy alive, Chee will not disappoint.
Perfection? A dream come true? A readers ideal writer? Nope - none of that.
What she is is a writer working hard at constantly challenging herself to find ever better ways to improve at what she does.
What she is is inspiring. Reading her writing reminds me of Steve Prefontaine and what he said he was trying to do as a runner "some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before'. It's more than just a race, it's style. It's doing something better than everyone else. It's being creative."
Traci Chee is inspiringly creative. Her writing is, to me, as wonderful an example of creativity in the written word as I have seen in a very long time.
Read her. Buy her. Encourage her. She is an example of what working to perfect your craft and make something beautiful is all about, and beauty is something our world always needs more of.
A friend of over 50 years insisted that I plunge into Traci Chee's work. When I mentioned it to my niece who's a high school English teacher, enthusiastically agreed with him... so I did a test run with The Reader. I was not at all sure at first because the book ignores chronological time lines and/or conventional sequencing. About 1/3 of the way in, I found myself making time to get to and thru the book. I whipped thru the rest of it and immediately plunged into The Speaker, the next book in the trilogy. Be warned that Chee is brutal in the treatment of her characters and unsparing in her description of violence and its results. It is also a YA novel so there's a serious measure of post-adolescent longing and misunderstanding, but it's handled in a way that doesn't provoke eye-rolling in adults.
Let me start off by saying I absolutely love this book! I had been hearing so many good things about it on Twitter, that I finally bought a copy so I could read. When I got approved for The Speaker on Edelweiss (review coming!), I dove into this book. I was not disappointed. From the first page, I was so intrigued by this world where books were magic! Sefia is an amazing character to follow. She’s had so many bad things happen to her, that you can’t help but root for her. Along the way we meet characters like Captain Cannek Reed (my new book boyfriend!), Archer, and the rest of the crew of the Current of Faith. If you like adventure, a great library, books that are magical, and a bit of mystery this is the book for you! I can’t go into too much detail without spoiling anything, so I’ll stop here. Pick up this book!
