Storyspinner Book Review

The Storyspinner - Becky Wallace

I reread this for the release of the sequel, Sklighter, and I'm really glad I did. I gave it five stars the first time around. While I still enjoyed it this time and found it a quick read I was not quite as entertained in the beginning. Took me about halfway to get invested. 

 

Johanna is a storyspinner, as is her father before her. But when he's killed before her eyes everything changes. Her and her brothers are on the run as she quickly learns someone is out to kill her thinking she's someone much more important then she may realize. And Rafi and Dom, two brothers are there to save her and protect her at any cost. 

 

I thought there were too many characters reading it a second time. I cared more about Rafi and Johanna then I did the keepers and the bad guys. 

 

I have already started Skylighter and it is INTENSE. Lot's of action so far.
