Meanwhile, there is a parallel storyline to Sefia’s where a boy named Lon narrates about how he is plucked from street performances to become a scholar and join a secret society. She picks up a silent boy who has been forced into fighting along the way to find and rescue her aunt. She has also been left with whole lot of questions. Sefia is left with a mysterious object in her backpack that she protects with her life. The book opens with her aunt who has been kidnapped by a mysterious group of people. Her mother died when she was quite young. Unfortunately, I did not love The Reader as much as I had anticipated.
Thus, my expectations for Chee’s book were kind of high. Those two books are novels that I really loved reading. The jacket compares the story to Inkheart and Shadow And Bone. It has such a cool premise – where reading is powerful and it is a thing that not everyone can do. The Reader by Traci Chee is the first of the Sea of Ink and Gold series.
