This story begins on a rather mysterious note, but you quickly put that aside as you get lost in this seemingly innocent tale that Abel makes up for his little sister. However, everything in the story is represented in the “reality” of Abel and Micah’s life. As the two stories combine, that sense of mystery becomes all pervading. The truth is hidden in the fairytale, and Anna’s inability to see things from outside the hue of blue that her upbringing has colored her perception makes her an unreliable narrator that you wish was the real storyteller. Unfortunately, icy, blue-eyed Abel is the actual driver of this story. If you don’t like to cry over a story, don’t read. If you dislike stories about characters who survive abuse but still cannot escape those memories, don’t read. Despite all that, I thoroughly enjoyed this tale even though I had hoped for a different ending much like Anna’s imaginings.

The Storyteller Antonia Michaelis Books Reviews

When I finished, I didn't know whether I should go into a chaotic rage and trash my bedroom, or sit in a stunned silence over the amazingness of this book.
This also meant, I didn't know HOW to rate this book.
So I sat on it for a few days.
And I couldn't get it off my mind....
So this book, filled with secrets, stories, romance, and some more secrets became a top read for me.

Anna runs in a different crowd than Abel.
Her family's rich. He has only his sister.
He sits back, quietly in his own world. Completely aloof to the people around him.
But Anna is curious about him. It's her curiosity that strings her closer to Abel, and his sister Micha. The closer she becomes to them though, the more in deep she becomes to the dangers that surrounds Abel and his family.

At first, for me, I thought the story started off slowly. (For maybe the first Two pages.) *BUT* Let's keep in mind that this book was originally published in Germany, and translated into English.
The flow of words, descriptions, and story was easy to catch onto. It didn't take long for me to enjoy Anna AND Abel.

Anna is a shy character. And before you pull away and say, "Ahh. No thanks!" I need to clarify. She is has more guts and knowledge to her than anyone realizes. They think she's a "innocent little lamb", when simply she's watching their actions. Learning from them.

Abel. One word for this guy.
Tragic.
And yet, I can understand what drew Anna to this German hottie.
Who doesn't love the quiet, tortured male character?
He has a lot of heavy baggage in his past, and is very mistrustful of people. When Anna starts WANTING to be around him and his sister, he doesn't know how to take her. But eventually, Anna is allowed to hear the story that he creates for his sister, Micha. Telling her tid bits of this story, allows him and Micha to escape their own messed up life.

Listening to Abel's "fairy tale" is like watching CSI or maybe Coldcase. You're watching the story connect, and a few times you are convinced you know who the villain is, and who's not. But at last minute, you are taken for a huge turn.

The whole book will have you reeling. And even though you'll be itching to read the last page JUST to see what happens, you won't... Believe me, you won't. Why waste such an amazing story?

As much as I LOVED this book. It was a darker book, that deals with the cold reality of our world.

I think it's angled more towards Mature Adult. And simply anyone who loves just a great book, and a looot of mystery!
I usually avoid books that do not have HEA endings but I read this knowing that it didn't. I disliked the ending but I liked the story. It was unique including the fact that the hero was a storyteller. I liked the hero as well even though he did bad things. I could not help but feel sorry for him and his sister. Depending on how you feel about the hero will color how you feel about the ending. To me it it a tragic ending.
"But beneath his words, Anna sensed the darkness that lurked in the shadows, the ancient darkness of fairy tales."

This book is very hard to review. It was beautifully written. I just felt like there was no hope in the words, like you couldn't feel the silver lining. I would say that this book was kind of dark but that doesn't feel right, maybe more like gray.

"Our ship is called Hope."
"And now we're leaving her behind."

I felt really bad for Abel, like he was broken and drowning and
there was no turning back.

"Maybe the responsibility for Micha is more of an anchor than a burden. A lifeboat. A wooden plank to hold onto so you don't drown."

"Keep my mind for me. See to it that nobody steals it."

Anna was a strong, forgiving character. She made some bad choices but I still really liked her. Even as horrible as this may sound I think I may have like her a little bit more when she didn't give up on Abel.

"If we lose each other in this endless icy winter, where will we find each other?"
"Where it's spring."

"I am staying with the storyteller."

I'm not sure what more I can say about this book. Would l recommend it? Yes. Also I feel this was an emotional read. I cried reading this book and I don't do that for many books, and I have read a lot of them.

A couple more of my favorite quotes.

"I'm not one if the answering people. I'm the storyteller."

"But everybody...everybody knows everything, Abel murmured. Now. No, everybody knows nothing. Nobody knows anything. Nobody knows everything..."

"The world is turning the wrong way around, and they don't notice"
