About book Touchstone (2012)

I've had this one my to-read shelf for a couple of years now, and finally gave in. The problem is that it's the first in a new series, and I've been waiting 15 years for her to complete the last trilogy, after leaving book 2 on a total cliffhanger, so was really quite wary of starting a new one before it was complete. It was inventive, fast paced, engrossing, I really liked it, and I don't dare recommend it to anyone until I know it's going to get a resolution one day, because I've lost a lot of trust in the author. I haven't decided what star rating to give it on Goodreads yet! Touchstone is a behind the scenes look at theatrical production powered not by animation but magic. Touchstone is a theatre group struggling for success and identity. Ms. Rawn has done a masterful job in presenting an eclectic cast of characters. She provides insights to their personalities and how they became the people they are. Allusions to societal ills such as discrimination, poverty, perversion are made without being done with a heavy hand. Blye is a perfect illustration of the "glass" ceiling facing even contemporary women. The author does a good job drawing parallels with real life in spite of the fantasy format. This is the first book in a trilogy, I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I recommend the book.

Not fun to read at all. I literally couldn't bring myself to care for a single character.
