Review: The Astrologer`s Daughter by Rebecca Lim

 The Astrologer`s Daughter

Author: Rebecca Lim
Published On: July 9th, 2014
Page Count: 321
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Avicenna Crowe’s mother, Joanne, is an astrologer with uncanny predictive powers and a history of being stalked. Now she is missing.
The police are called, but they’re not asking the right questions. Like why Joanne lied about her past, and what she saw in her stars that made her so afraid.
But Avicenna has inherited her mother’s gift. Finding an unlikely ally in the brooding Simon Thorn, she begins to piece together the mystery.


I DNF`d at 55% As interesting as it is it`s just not holding my attention
Overall: DNF (If I had continued my opinion is 1-2stars based on the plot concept)
                The reading of the future aspect was pretty interesting though.


Cover: 2.5/5 

   The spyglass makes this seem less of a fortune teller book and more of a murder mystery. So for me maybe something with stars and tarot cards would resonate the story line better.


Characters: 1/5
                Avicenna is such a whiny main character that it was hard to keep reading at first. The choices she makes are not ones I would have chosen.
                Joanne all-though not in sight plays a huge part of the story. I liked hearing about everything she predicted and how she worked. I feel like she was more of a rounded character than Avicenna.


Plot: 3/5
                Now this is where the rating really comes from. The mathematics of astrology are described in detail, which may interest some readers. The mysteries tended to be quite unique and interesting. Avicenna does not consider an astrologer like her mother, but she has absorbed much of her mother's knowledge, and also has the gift. However, when her mother disappears Avicenna is forced to follow in her mother’s footsteps to uncover the truth. 


TTFN,

Ashley
