The Storyteller's Daughter by Cameron Dokey
1.0
I'm not the target audience for this book. Right now, I looked at all the wonderful reviews of this novel and wonder if the people read the same book I did. Maybe I'm too picky.
Go read any translation of nights instead of this.
I have problems with this book. The first is that the character of Shahrazad makes no sense. All of sudden she's blind. All of sudden she's a wonderful story teller who understands people even though she avoided people by locking herself in her room. By the way, Shahrazad, her sister, and her mother are the only good women in the story. It is very unclear why Shahrazad would do what she does (the mini-series was even better here). Shahrazad is perfect! She's wonderful! (I'm going to hurl!). Her step mother was evil, but that's okay cause she died in child birth when she gave birth to a girl.
