The Safe-Keeper’s Daughter

by Sharon Shinn

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Fiona, the daughter of a Safe-Keeper, tries to become a Safe-Keeper and in the process learns who she really is.

I’m a fan of Shinn’s Samaria novels, but I had no idea that she wrote young adult/children’s books also. This book was so engrossing that I read it straight through in one sitting.

Safe-keepers are in charge of hearing and keeping secrets told to them by the people in their village, and although I didn’t actually like Fiona much herself, I liked the world that was described. My only complaint about this book is that there appears to be no direct sequel to it yet (if at all). The ending of this book is such that it feels like a “To Be Continued…” type of non-ending.

Still good, still recommended, just…write a sequel to this!!
