The Dragon Queens door Traci Harding
Too much mysticism and the world built just wasn't lighting my fires.
Felt a bit like everything and the kitchen sink was included by the end of the novel. Fun at times but better reads available these days.
I've been a fan of Traci Harding for years. Her fantasy has always inspired me, given me new worlds to immerse in, new characters to fall in love with. The Storyteller's Muse is different - it's not epic Fantasy - but it is epic storytelling, for sure.
What I loved about it most was the rich atmosphere. I sensed every environment, costume, hair do, personality ... I was there, with the characters in one of my most beloved forms of storytelling - the parallel narrative. It's not an easy one to pull off, or pull of well, but Traci does it. She gives us enough time in each story arc to stay current but not so long that we resent being pulled out of want and put back in the other. The writing, and the transitions, are seamless and for my Gemini mind, having two seductive and mysterious stories told at once, who could want more?
The other big draw for me is the immersion in the world of the writerly life. What is it like to want to write a novel and not know where to begin? We've all been there once and going into those feelings with The Storyteller's Muse was like having my own writers group, my own best writerly friends, right there with me, supporting, challenging, interacting ... in a craft that can be more than a little isolating, this book became my nightly companion.
The story is about a birth and a death, deception and revelation, love and hate. But don't think it's all back and white! The nuances and subtle shifts and shades make The Storyteller's Muse the best read I've had in a long, long time. I didn't want it to end.… (meer)

I listened to about a quarter of this book. Not for me . Very disappointing as I thought it would be a better story line. Did not like the narrator's voice. I think she made the story much harder to follow than it probably was and online reviews have it as a 4 star book. I'm not going to rate it all. MAy have another crack at it and see.....
