Title: Amazing Prodigy
Review: I have to preface this review with the fact that C.H. is in fact my niece and, being family, I believed that her manuscript for The Book of Broken Hours would be good. I was prepared to tell her so in a supportive way that would encourage her to continue writing; however, her book was not good, it was surprisingly superb. She needed no encouragement from me since, at only 16 years of age, she had already produced an engaging piece of literature that could hold its own. C.H. demonstrates a command of English that would incite envy in a seasoned writer. The world she creates is complex, enticing, and fresh; a difficult achievement in the over-saturated realm of fantasy publications. C.H.'s eye is not set on the writing of her peers, but on the literary accomplishments of the great western writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien and, if this first work is any indication, there is reason to believe that she will one day join those ranks.
