Refreshing story

I know you say it was meant for 8- 10 year old but as an older adult I loved this book and I will be buying the rest of the series

Engaging and Beautifully Narrated

The Illuminator's Gift is a very well written fantasy book. Alina's characters are realistic and very human. You can see each person grow throughout the story as they encounter new challenges and make new discoveries. I connected with the characters and they became my friends. I booed when characters were bullied. I laughed when they did. Cried when they did. This book allows you to feel the range of emotions felt by each character. I would recommend this book.
Also of note: the narrator has an amazing voice and was superb! I would happily listen to almost any book she narrates.

Monotone reader

The whispering monotone voice of the reader made this wonderful story boring and hard to pay attention. Better off to read it yourself.
