Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Elsewhens by Melanie Rawn


Touchstone  was the first book in this thought provoking trilogy.  It was a behind the scenes look at theatrical production powered not by animation but magic.   Touchstone is a theatre group struggling for success and identity.  In this volume, Touchstone has had some success but made some enemies and allies in the process.

Political intrigue is introduced in this book.   It is not apparent who is behind it until the final pages and then it is dealt with circumspectly.   This book shows more depth on the characters and explains Cayden Silversun's  elsewhens.   His elsewhens might be described as precognition of a limited nature.  Cayden is particularly concerned with the elsewhens referring to his glisker, Mieka. 

Cayden feels that what Touchstone can do through theater is nothing less than change his society.  Again societal ills are shown such as discrimination, prejudice, poverty and more.  

This is the second book in the trilogy, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
