The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera

4.0

I enjoyed this fantasy (or was it science fiction?) story mainly because the author does a nice job of developing the main character so that you end up cheering her on during her difficult quest. Parts of this story read like 1984 with the powerful Collective controlling her every move and thought. I am not sure I fully appreciated the side story of her wanting to be a story teller. Other than it did provide a nice connection between her past and unknown future. I'd recommend this book to readers 12 and older as it does have some mature themes such as purging human beings that don't follow the edicts of those in control.
