You are constantly wondering what lines Liara is willing to cross to dispel her insecurities. The years of prejudice she suffered in her town created a hunger for vengeance and the desire to prove her worth to herself and to those who rejected her. Liara is an intensely driven, ambitious, and self-absorbed teenager. The progression of the story is just awesome. Stuck together in a limited space, the tension and connection between Liara and Nagarath builds and builds until the climax of the story finally hits you. Majority of the events take place inside the Parentino Castle where we learn of the enticing magick-filled world the author has created.
The Bookminder is a very character driven story.
Both characters are deeply flawed but endearing. Liara and Nagarath are both wonderful multi faceted characters. Nagarath, Wizard of Parentino, steps forward to offer her protection. She was caught using witchcraft and the town folks used that as a reason to banish her. At the start of the novel, 16 year old Liara, daughter of the evil mage, was spurned by the folks of her town. Magick was outlawed many years ago after a devastating attack led by an evil mage. The Bookminder is a wonderfully written YA historical fantasy novel that takes place in 1679 in various historical areas in Croatia.
