Book Review: Book of a Thousand Days

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A charming little read about love, courage and sacrifice that I finished in one sitting.

I loved little Dashti from the very beginning. With a plain face but a great soul she could teach the most hard-hearted of people what it means to be kind and very brave, despite of all your fears.

Her "mama also used to say that the mightiest of the healing songs was a good laugh" and that "hitting is the language of cowards and drunkards". So Dashti is trying to protect and to heal, to sing each troubled soul into happines and be a crutch for every other broken one. Because she is a mucker, and that is what muckers do: sing to heal.

If you like fairytales and stories about love, sacrifice and courage above fear; with true heroes and happy ever afters, and a little bit of healing magic thrown in the mix, you're gonna love this book! I know I did! :D
