I Read the Truth-teller's novel a while back and I fell in love with the idea that people could relate with trees. While the story focus shifts from what I remember, I did enjoy the relationship between Keller and Gryffin. They have been wronged by the people around them but still contain hope. A ve...
A sweet and poignant tale of friendship, identity, love, suffering and kindness. I loved Kellen and Gryffin and their friendship. Highly recommended. Subtle.
(3.5 stars)A gentle, sweet fantasy novel. And out of the whole trilogy, I think this one has my favorite relationship.

Did Griffyn have the surgery? If he did, did he lose his magic? Would they stay in the city or return to Thr...
The thing I like about Ms. Shinn books is that she writes with what I call the "Chinese factor". Pain, angst and tragedy ... how can I not like it?Dream-makers have the worst life. Ms. Shinn turns it around by making it so that the tragedies in the life of a dream-maker somehow fuels the dream-mak...
