Book Tour Review Daughter of the Sun by: Zoe Kalo

Young Adult Fantasy

Date Published: May 2016

Sixteen-year-old Trinity was born during a solar eclipse and left at the doorsteps of a convent along with a torn piece of papyrus covered with ancient symbols. Raised by nuns in the English countryside, she leads a quiet life until she’s whisked away to the Island of Cats and a grandmother she never knew.

But before they can get to know each other, her grandmother dies. All that Trinity has left is a mysterious eye-shaped ring. And a thousand grieving cats. As Trinity tries to solve the enigma of the torn papyrus, she discovers a world of bloody sacrifices and evil curses, and a prophecy that points to her and her new feline abilities.

Unwilling to believe that any of the Egyptian gods could still be alive, Trinity turns to eighteen-year-old Seth and is instantly pulled into a vortex of sensations that forces her to confront her true self—and a horrifying destiny.

My Review

Where do I begin?  How about with the fact that I loved yes loved this book.  There was drama, intrigue, a love story, and best of all modern day Egyptology.  I found myself wanting to read this despite all of the other responsibilities that I have on a daily basis I just could not seem to get it out of my head.  I enjoyed the descriptive form of writing that the author employees.  The heroine was a kind of love her/hate her at times, granted growing up with nuns as the closest thing to a mother would probably result in some serious adjustment issues of which she handled with the best of her abilities and boy does she have some abilities.  I particularly liked learning about more Egyptian goddesses.  I am hoping that we get to see more of Trinity in future installments and can not wait to read the next book.  I wish there was a print edition because my daughter would love this book (she is not an ebook fan).  Character development very well done in my opinion, the relationships were tangible and the effect I love the most from books the pictures my mind draws were very vivid thanks to the descriptions, I am sure some will not enjoy the large amount of descriptions but I felt they were well done and balanced well with the amount of dialogue.

About the Author

Currently, she’s working on a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature, which she balances between writing, taking care of her clowder of cats, and searching for the perfect bottle of pinot noir.
