Book Review: The Orphan's Tales: In the Cities of Coin and Spice


An orphan girl tells fantastical stories to a boy of the royal household.  This is a spellbinding book filled with intertwined tales in the tradition of the Arabian nights. The narrative is layered and interwoven as each new character shares their story.  It was hard at times for me to keep all the story lines and characters straight, which makes me truly appreciate the author's skills.  Visit the author's website to learn more about these fascinating tales.
