Crit About Books Oracle
I credit Jackie French for inspiring my passion for historical fiction. I passed this book over a few times however figuring that not being set in Australia it wouldn't be as enjoyable as her other books. How wrong was I! Jackie French has such a way with language it gives me tingles. "The smoke clung like a dirty tunic to Nikko's skin ; his sweat seemed stained with it." It's sentences like this that have put Oracle up there with Nanberry as my favourite Jackie French novel.

This is definitely my favourite book ever I love it soooooooooo much.

I love everything written by this author anyway. This is a beautiful story about a brother's and sister's determination to survive togther in an otherwise cruel world.

Oracle was a bit slow and depressing to start off with but it is worth finishing cos the ending is like, priceless, a mixture of surprise, sadness, and happiness, makes you cry but makes you feel good at the same time, cos Jackie French finishes it off really well and awnsers all your questions. I loved the way you felt like you knew Nikko by the end of the book.

Fantastic novel about a girl who is able to read subtle signs in people and nature to predict the truth. This gift creates a cast atrophic chain of events for both herself and her brother, leading them to be traded to the king in exchange for a reduction in the village offerings. They are taken in by a King's performer (who is getting too old to continue to perform) and trained in acrobatics, where their performance in front of the King will decide their eventual fate.

I think I read this book back when I was 11. I didn't remember any of the events but I always remembered the emotions. I found this book again and it's just as good as I remember.In regards to content; the character development is brilliant. This novel spans over the course of 15-20ish years and both Nikko and Thetis' characters are developed upon in an enjoyable and realistic way. They are easy to like and follow along with. Not the mention the other characters aswell who have equally as
