I enjoy a good horse story but I’m not the old soul who would probably enjoy this most. I agree that showing vs telling greatly helps with the delivery of a story and at 194 pages, this book definitely has some room for more details. Thanks for the great review!
Haha, well you didn't miss out on much. This did have potential to be a good horse story, but fell short of the mark. Hope you're enjoying the book you chose to read though! Thanks for the reply :D

It's disappointing that the writing wasn't more advanced to match the characterization. It's always sad when I really like a book's characters or premise but struggle to get through it due to pacing or poor writing. Excellent review! You went into detail about what you liked without being harsh about the things you didn't. Very informative! Thank you!
They gave me the heebie jeebies as well, but I tried to look past that since it's obviously for a religious audience haha. Thank you for the very kind words :D

I feel like that's the sign of a good critic - able to recognize that, while certain parts aren't for them, they'd be invaluable to others. Awesome! Very good review. Thanks for taking the time!
