4.4 out of 5 stars (1,795)
A dead god.

A dying world.

A girl never meant to be sentient.


Siriaa is dying. A poison is spreading throughout the planet and none know how to neutralize it. Finder, working in King Tamblin's castle kitchen most of her life, has never spoken. A child of questionable parentage, Finder is an orphan assigned to perform duties nobody else wants.

While others plan intrigue, murder and invasion to escape the poison's effects, Finder watches all in mute acceptance. Will she be the key to Siriaa's salvation, or will it die about her, without knowing why?

    I found this book by chance and I am so happy I did! Connie Suttle creates a enigmatic world with deep, well developed characters, and the story is written beautifully. Her main character, Finder, is a character you fall in love with quickly. I like how she unfolds the mysteries of her fantasy world without just doing an unrealistic data dump (Such as an entire chapter dedicated to explaining the story and why the world she created is what/how it is.) Instead, she unfolds the secrets very meticulously and even leaves some questions for later books to explain. I just wish book 2 was already written, because I can't wait to read what happens next! I couldn't put this book down. It keeps you guessing and intrigued to the end, leaving you wanting more.

    The book ends before the end. cliff hanger. hate that and thats why its a 4. I perfer books that are complete in themselves and then have a second or third book following. the book also, as others said, gets confused with swift changes to different sides of the story, as in a paragraft here and then off to another , two or three and off to a third. thats confusion! I manage, just barely to follow along. The story would be better to leave a few players out for now though. all that aside its a good read, enjoyable with equally swift surprises in story. I did enjoy the main character. I found the main theme to be the ones in power are usually vicious and brutal in regard to those below them. Which in regard to our current state of the union is a bit close to the truth. . a french queen's famous quote--Let them eat cake!. comes to mind in regard to9 how intune the upper 10 % is to the common man. but thats a personal opion. still the theme of uncaring power is there..I have not read this authurs other books, so don't know if this is a commn theme. hopefully the "good guys" win in this story line...

    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Where do I begin? This book was so fantastically interesting! It is rare that I have the patience to stay curious as information comes to me bit by bit but Suttle has created a fascinating world with so much to discover.

    Finder is a victim but not in a maudlin way. Her lack of anger and bitterness allow her to be a sympathetic character but not entirely realistic.

    I loved the different cultures explored in the book. Seeing how they all intersect is interesting enough before you add in the court intrigue and origin stories.

    There is so much to gush about, but this was a fast paced, really cool story with so many unanswered questions. I can't wait to start the next.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic start to a new series!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The first thing I need to do is apologize to Connie Suttle. I was not very enthusiastic about this new series because of the blurb. It really did not make me as gung-ho as I usually am for her books. Luckily, I was completely wrong! This book was great! I loooooooved it! The only bad part was that it had to end! The book is about a girl named Finder who lives on a planet in the same universe as her previous series but is seemingly unaware of the other planets, much like Earth. She has many powers that she uncovers along the way and, just as in her other books, she goes through many hardships to get to where she needs to go. I can't wait for the next book and I highly recommend not just this book, but all of her other books as well. So get reading!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Appallingly written ending and build up to the end
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The book was interesting enough until the build up to the ending climax through the latter half of the story and the ending itself which was appallingly written. To give a metaphor it's like watching a movie which is built up slowly and well and then suddenly a whole bunch of characters to whom you have no background and are not given any information about get thrown in. Worse is you do not even have the visuals of a movie to try and make sense from things and are not given any details either. Furthermore these characters are having two sentence conversations with each other that only the author has any idea about. So you have about ten different bunches of characters in ten different places and each of these are given a paragraph or two at most before jumping to the next bunch of characters and place; and it doesn't help that the new character in the new paragraph excerpt begins speaking without even letting you know which character you are with.
    The ending itself, to continue the metaphor, is like watching a movie where whole chunks of the movie don't show because part of the data is corrupted. So right in the middle of whatever is taking place gets cut out and you're suddenly in the middle of a different scene, which again you only get a snippet of before the movie jumps five minutes ahead and you land somewhere in the middle of another scene, which get cut off abruptly and that's the end. Maybe this might work for a movie but it most definitely does not work in writing where you need to supply the details to build a picture.
    There was no cliff hanger and there was no conclusion either.
    It read like the author was just in a mad rush to get the book done because there were better things to do.
    I would have liked to give this two and a half stars but as this option is not available I decided I would be nice and give three stars for the potential of the ideas.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, can't wait for more.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A brilliant read all the way through. From the first few chapters, you find yourself loving the main protagonist, an orphan only known as Finder. The setting feels very well realised and mimics the hierarchical system that would've existed in medieval times regarding wealth and social status. The plot takes unexpected twists and turns all the way throughout the book as it switches between different cities and characters, even as you think that life is getting to be pleasant, however most of the situations resolve them in a Disney-like fashion, albeit without the happily-ever-after aspects.

    I was apprehensive about picking the book up as I'd never heard of the author before, but after reading this. If you're a fan of fantasy novels such as the Ranger's Apprentice series and the Inheritance(Eragon) series, there's a very good chance you'll enjoy this too. If the description doesn't give you enough information, as it didn't with me, read the sample, you get round about three chapters which for myself was enough to convince me it was worth purchasing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy with a twist!
    Reviewed in Australia on October 26, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I have been reading science fiction and fantasy for over 50 years now and I have to say that this must be the most unusual book that I have read in that genre.
    It starts off in a typical fantasy scene: young orphan girl given to kitchen staff in a palace to raise. By the age of 4 (!) She is cleaning pots and dishes .in order to do this she has to stand on a stool. She is mute until she is 9 but, by then, she has come to realise that she has heard too much and her life would be forfeit should it become known that she can speak. The room that she was given to sleep in was a dusty old store room full of crates and books. As she picked up a book she realised that she could read it. From these books she learnt as much as she could about the world she lived in. Other gifts began to manifest themselves, the first being the ability to find lost items - which is how she got her name: Finder.
    From then on she comes to the attention of a prince and various other important people. There are intrigues and evil all around which leads her, after much action, to being kidnapped and taken to Aviaa, a glass island that was occupied by a winged people. Here she came into contact with technology and from here on fantasy and science fiction become entwined.
    Quite frankly you need to pay close attention to all that happens from the beginning to even start to understand what's going on!
    This is a complex story but well worth reading.
    I would recommend it to all ages and all SF&F fans.
    I have just started book two and it's getting even more complex & interesting!

    I have no words to describe this book. I could not put it down. Connie Suttle you are my hero and I would name my firstborn after you if I was pregnant. (Which, unfortunately I'm not.)

    This book is the light in the blinding darkness. The rock in a sea of badly written fiction. I LOVED every second of this book.

    Grammar and structure are flawless. Character development is dynamic and full of life. Written in such beautiful (and correct) english I almost wept for joy.

    Thank you for bringing such a new and original story into the world. I feel like if I ever read the word "vampire" again I'll gouge out my eyeballs. I have no words. You are a goddess.

    A goddess of impeccable grammar. You're my hero Connie Suttle.

    5 trillion gold stars!! I can't wait for the next one (when's the release date for it exactly?)
