A review by laurieb755
Bird of a Thousand Stories by Kiyash Monsef

4.75

Ooo la la, Kiyash Monsef continues his masterful story telling of Marjan, a veterinarian by default of her father bequeathing her his business upon his death, her friends Grace, Carrie and Malloryn, and the animals Marjan encounters due to her unique abilities. She is no ordinary veterinarian and the creatures she encounters are no ordinary animals.

If you join Marjan on her journey in search of the Bird of a Thousand Stories I urge you to begin the story with Once There Was, the book prior to this one. You will learn how Marjan came to be who she is. 
I don’t want to give away any spoilers but since the controls for writing a review have a “Spoiler” button let’s see how that works.

 

Marjan will meet her reticent relative Amu Reza. He will continue the stories begun by her father and along the way provide more history and background for Marjan. The Fells will continue to buy and sell magical creatures, not seeming to care what havoc they may wreck on any particular creature or the life cycle of the world. Along the way Malloryn will introduce her ‘friend’ Millmallow, and Karl (of the Fells) may possibly begin to think about the ramifications of what he does (maybe).

 

Amu, Malloryn, Millmallow and Marjan will log many miles in search of the Bird of a Thousand Stories.

I, for one, hope that Kiyash, perhaps with a little assist from the Bird of a Thousand Stories, has more tales within him!
