Summary:
The Reader takes place in a world where reading is forbidden- and forgotten. Sefia has been on the run her whole life from the people who killed her parents. Her one inheritance- a book. A book that holds stories with more truth to them than she knows.

Review:
This book is an immersive fantasy with gorgeous imagery and a riveting story. The whole series is set in a very well fleshed out universe. It’s really detailed without being tedious. There were also a lot of unexpected twists and turns! This is book 1 of the trilogy, named "Sea of Ink and Gold"
