Instant New York Times Bestseller A stunning debut set in a world where reading is unheard-of, perfect for fans of Inkheart and Shadow and Bone
Sefia knows what it means to survive. After her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal. But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her survival skills can help her discover where Nin's been taken, or if she's even alive. The only clue to both her aunt's disappearance and her father's murder is the odd rectangular object her father left behind, an object she comes to realize is a bookâ??a marvelous item unheard of in her otherwise illiterate society. With the help of this book, and the aid of a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and find out what really happened the day her father was killedâ??and punish the people responsible. With overlapping stories of swashbuckling pirates and merciless assassins, The Reader is a brilliantly told adventure from an extraordinary new talent.
Ein liebevoll geschriebenes Buch mit interessanten Charakteren und einer schönen Geschichte. Ich mochte selbst den Verliebtheit-Part, welcher für mich oft in den Hintergrund rückt. Es hatte etwas vorsichtiges, zärtliches, und sind wir ehrlich. Slow-Burn ist immer noch einfach nur fantastisch. ( )
Ambitious. Fully realized world. Multiple narrative threads brought together well. Sometimes gets a little obvious/earnest and plot sometimes predictable. I'd like to read the next books to see if she gets better as she goes along, as Bardugo did with her first series. ( )

Short Review: So many good books! I loved this one, from the start it was an exciting read, and then there were pirates! XD This is a complex book, with many sides, and the reader gets to see a little of each. It's not until the end that we discover how they connect, and I love how well it was thought out, and how it was written. A fast paced and exciting read that will have you holding your breath in places, it's well worth it for any YA fantasy/adventures fans!
This was such a fun story. I highly recommend physically reading this or reading this along with your audio book instead of just listening to it. Otherwise you will miss out on certain things. Keep an eye out for my May Wrap Up Vlong on my YouTube channel called Completely Melanie for more on this. ( )
Hello. If you're reading this, then maybe you know you ought to read everything. And maybe you know you ought to read deeply. Because there's witchery in these words and a spellwork in the spine. And once you know to look for signals in the smoke, for secrets in the sea, then you understand what it is to read. This is a book. You are the reader. Look closer, there's magic here.
Once there was, and one day there will be. This is the beginning of every story.
But being smart was overrated. Being stupid and brave and curious? Now that's something stories are made of.
"It's the same with stories as it is with people," Meeks said, his brown eyes gleaming in the dwindling light of the sunset, "they get better as they get older. But not every story is remembered, and not all people grow old."
