sorkatani 's review for:
The Girl of Ink and Stars
by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
This review is for the audiobook version voiced by Victoria Fox:
This was such a wonderful book! It has some elements that may not be appropriate for sensitive children (there are strong elements of colonisation, including an uprising spurred by the murder of a young girl. There are also monsters and some tense moments - such as seeing a skeleton reaching out for a much smaller skeleton and acts of violence - as well as character deaths) but my ten year old enjoyed it, although I would say the intended audience is probably teenagers/young adults.
It has a strong, young female protagonist, and the writing is very good.
The narration by the voice actor was absolutely brilliant! It's definitely one of the best audiobook performances l have ever heard.
I definitely recommend it!
