Avicenna Crowe's mother, Joanne, is an astrologer who predicts the future with amazing accuracy. Because of Joanne's skill, her clients become so attached to her that she and Avicenna have to move often to escape them. When Joanne goes missing, Avicenna contacts the police for help. Detective Wurbik of Missing Persons becomes Avicenna's connection to the search for her mother and attempts to keep her updated 24/7. Soon Avicenna has more problems than her mother's disappearance when Joanne's clients come knocking on her door for answers. Although Avicenna has inherited her mother's gifts, she's never used them until now. When she reluctantly agrees to help some of her mother's clients, she uncovers a cold case murder that puts her own life in danger. Avicenna's friend and nemesis is Simon Thorn, a snobbish classmate who turns out to be nothing like she thinks he is.

Avicenna is not a particularly likable protagonist. She is angry and opinionated toward every person she meets and often lashes out at them. She makes poor choices in her dealings with the police, Simon, and many of the other characters. Avicenna is strong and feisty, both desirable traits in a protagonist, but I would have enjoyed the book more if she'd been easier to root for. The complicated mysteries and character relationships were also confusing at times. However, it's ulltimately an interesting read that delves into the complex world of astrology.

The Astrologer Daughter Rebecca Lim 9781922182005 Books Reviews

Everyone attached themselves to Avicenna’s mother Joanne and eventually would get addicted and they would have to leave town. Joanne was known for trying. Trying to squeeze everyone in, trying to make people feel special , and seen; trying to find the truth in among the chaos that makes the singular state of existence. It had been twenty eight hours since since Avicenca heard from her mum and that was unusual and that was a mistake message. Avicenna had a photographic memory but the last day she seen her non is a blank. Which means Joanne never said where she was going. Avicenna had been in a house fire and her face was scarred. Avicenna is eighteen years old. She calls the police about her missing mother. Avicenna is an astrologer like her mother, but she doesn’t want to use the abilities she has. It is suspected that Joanne's has to do with a client. Avicenna doesn’t really seem to have a clue what to do with Joanne At school Avicenna is trying for a scholarship and Simon is in competition for it.
I couldn’t get into this book . I had to make myself finish thus. It was me I just couldn’t stay interested. Than the ending didn’t answer all of my questions and I also felt the ending was abrupt as far as I am concerned. I was just disappointed with this book.But I did like how Boon and Erbium were kind to Avicenna. This just wasn’t for me.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher Text Publishing through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

The Astrologer's Daughter is a book nothing quite like I've read before. It is very eccentric. I've always been interested in Astrology, but never have read a book that it was weaved into.

The characters were very interesting. I think the one of my favorites was Joanna, I just found her intriguing.

*****************
Blurb
Avicenna Crowe's mother, Joanne, is an astrologer with uncanny predictive powers and a history of being stalked. Now she is missing.

The police are called, but they're not asking the right questions. Like why Joanne lied about her past, and what she saw in her stars that made her so afraid.

But Avicenna has inherited her mother's gift. Finding an unlikely ally in the brooding Simon Thorn, she begins to piece together the mystery. And when she uncovers a link between Joanne's disappearance and a cold-case murder, Avicenna is led deep into the city's dark and seedy underbelly, unaware how far she is placing her own life in danger.

Pulse-racing and terrifyingly real, The Astrologer's Daughter is a stunning, original novel. It will test your belief in destiny and the endurance of love.

Rebecca Lim definitely creates a one of a kind world where everything is mysterious & a tad whismical. This is my first book from Rebecca Lim and it won't be the last!
This is a very well written story. The astrology is also authentic. Though, I question the horary technique.. A very good job! ☺
That absolutely everything about a person can be revealed in a progressed astrology chart is fascinating, although I'm unsure how accurate this is.
A few too many characters, nearly all male, for me to keep track of.
