I was cautiously optimistic about the novel I picked up this week, a debut fantasy novel by Rachel Hartman, titled "Seraphina." It seemed to promise everything I typically like about fantasy stories, but after the last few fantasy novels I have read having not met the level of expectation that I had hoped, it made me worry that this would be another disappointment. Would this novel be the turn-around I have been looking for, the one that would remind me why I love the fantasy genre while still presenting me with something original and memorable?
