| About The Author | Rachel Hartman is Canadian and this is her first YA novel. She is also the author of a mini-comic, Amy Unbound. |
Seraphina is a quick-paced read, and while the story does pause at times for introspection, it never stalls or grinds to a halt … It’s a tale well told, the author’s writing hitting a real high whenever music is involved. Here, her prose verges on the poetic; beautiful, often haunting, descriptions abound … In Seraphina, Rachel Hartman has created a likeable, gutsy heroine, one who isn’t flawless or afraid to make mistakes. |
|
| Other text | Hartman proves dragons are still fascinating in this impressive high fantasy … Equal parts political thriller, murder mystery, bittersweet romance, and coming-of-age story, this is an uncommonly good fantasy centered upon an odd but lovable heroine … Fantasy readers young and old who appreciate immersion into a rich new culture will not mind the novel’s slow build, especially as it takes wing and hurtles toward the stratosphere. This is an exciting new series to watch. |
