Reviews
Hi all:
I have received a lot of fantastic reviews on my book The Telling Mirror and I decided to start posting them here for all to read although if you head on over to Amazon you can read them all yourself--don't forget to download the Kindle version; it's a bargain at .99 cents!
Great fantasy adventure

In the Telling Mirror, Nelson creates a different world for her readers. She does a good job of bringing the fantasy genre to YA. So often these days, YA has been dominated by supernatural romance or dystopian future. There are some great books in those genres, but it’s nice to see a really good fantasy that appeals to young adults.
Immediately on starting this book, I was drawn in by Sig’s character. She was very relatable, with a rough life and deep set of insecurities. Nelson did a fantastic job at getting me sucked in and on Sig’s side. When her journey in the new land begins, I was ready for there to me more to her life. I wanted there to be more for her than just the life on the farm that she hated so much.
Joining Sig and Reggie on their adventures was a journey for me as well. With Sig’s strange powers in the new land leading them along, they go through a series of adventures that serve their own purpose. Each one of them adds layers to Sig’s character.
When I picked up this book, I didn’t notice that it was the first in a series. When I finished it, I was very relieved to find out that there would be more. My only complaint about this book is that I didn’t want it to end. I wanted there to be more. I can’t wait for the next book to come out so the adventure can continue.
