The Gorgon's Gaze
by Julia Golding is a mix of mythology and fantasy in the modern day.
This is the second in a quartet, but I haven't read the first. I
enjoyed this book a great deal. I read it in one day by reading
during the night. It is a compelling story. My eldest daughter
recommended it highly and agree, it's a good story. We look forward
to reading more of the series very soon.
This story is about
Connie who is a universal companion. Companions usually have a
specific species to which they can mentally speak and interact. The
species may be as mundane as canine. Or it may be as mystical and
unusual as a unicorn.
Connie is unusual
because she is the only universal the Society has become aware of for
a very long time. Her abilities as a Universal Companion make her
unique among the gifted. In this story, her great aunt, with the
blessing of her parents, takes her away from those like her in an
attempt to cleans her of her craziness. The great aunt is running
away from similar within herself and the harm she did in her past.
Connie will still have to face her destiny, even though her great
aunt would have it otherwise.
I do recommend this
story. Have you read The Gorgon's Gaze by Julia Golding?
