"Of all the thousands of books I've read in a long lifetime, this is the singular deepest, most meaningful and beautiful volume ever encountered. It is multifaceted and multilevel covering all from mundane human foibles to profound spirituality."

—Reg Olson

"Loved it! Reviewed by Gordon A. Long of Reedsy Discovery: Beautifully written Fantasy with a serious theme and evocative imagery. This is a tale that encompasses everything in the circle of life: grief and joy, conflict and peace, hatred and love, life and finally, death. But it is joy that wins." 

—Gordon A. Long, Reedsy Discovery

"C.C. Jiron jumps between the present and the past, immersing readers as they figure out the purpose behind Kreya's talents.... The author blends all these elements with direct dialogue, a fascinating map, a detailed character list, and a slow-burning romance that will appeal to readers. The result is a captivating novel that encourages readers to think deeply as they appreciate Jiron's storytelling mastery."

"Shamaness: The Silent Seer is a spiritual coming-of-age fantasy that follows Kreya, a gifted but marginalized girl who grows into a powerful shamaness. The story moves between her sixtieth summer, when she is grieving her husband and preparing for a final journey, and her childhood at Sky Lake, where she faces cruelty, discovers her abilities, and learns the foundations of healing and mysticism. It feels part myth, part memoir, part adventure, all held together by a steady emotional core.... I kept thinking about how wisdom is passed forward and what it costs the person who carries it. The tone of the book never turns grandiose; it stays grounded even when touching on visions, spirit companions, or the mysteries between worlds."
