About The Keeper Origins:
Sable just wants an escape from the corner of the world she's trapped in, but what lies outside is far more dangerous…
Sable would do anything to break free from the ruthless gang boss she's indebted to before he corrupts her younger sister or discovers Sable's magical ability to sense the truth in people's words.
In a last desperate attempt at freedom, Sable stumbles into unexpected help — Atticus, the famous playwright, and his traveling theater troupe.
Far more than a means of escape, the mismatched band of actors is destined to become the family Sable never knew she wanted. They help awaken her magic until she becomes the burning symbol of truth that the entire land needs.
As war looms and corruption eats away at the halls of power, Sable's ability to sense — and share — the truth may be the only thing that can save them all.

My Thoughts:
At the first sign of too stupid to live (tstl) element in the story, I was very apprehensive! But, I continued on reading in the hopes that it won't appear again...
Unfortunately that is not to be...
The story telling quality is good enough for me to keep reading. However, I also needed frequent breaks from it. Some breaks are longer than others. When I have forgotten my annoyance, I'd pick this book up again. Because the world building is beautiful!
And then there is Purnicious. The best way to describe her is Harry Potter's Dobbie. Same character. Only this time Purn is a kobold instead of a house-elf.Purnicious
Might not be the most original of ideas. Might be a Harry Potter rip-off. However, Purn is still loveable as all get-out!
It took me a bit of time to figure out what a Mira is. So, why do the prioresses have Miras?
I am an old Kate Reading fan and she gave a wonderful performance with this book!

Meet The Author
About JA Andrews:
A Andrews is a writer, wife, mother, and unemployed rocket scientist. She doesn't regret the rocket science degree, but finds it generally inapplicable in daily life. Except for the rare occurrence of her being able to definitively state, "That's not rocket science." She does, however, love the stars. She began writing stories and creating coloring books because these sorts of things need an outlet. And now good markers are a deductible business expense. She spends an inordinate amount of time at home, with her family, who she adores, and lives deep in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, where she can see more stars than she ever imagined.
