I really liked this book and gave it 3 out of 4 stars. The Native American mythology was good to know about but even better was the youngest character as perhaps the strongest and most brave

I enjoyed the Native American mythology as well.

I found the book interesting as far as the legends went. I really liked Sarah but I felt like the author didn' t give us enough of her character. Her journey was interesting, but it dragged out, and the ending was too unfinished. It felt more like the end of a chapter than the end of the book. Although it started out well, it was really herd to keep going in the middle.I give this a 2 out of 4.

The book was thoroughly engaging right from the start. The author was quite good in capturing the scene and the character's personality. I would give a rating of 3 out of 4

You sound like you really enjoyed it. Why not 4 stars?

In my experience it was a good book, with lively characters. The plotline was good too, especially the ending

Interesting! I actually thought the beginning was more difficult to get through. Towards the middle, I got more invested.

Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare

Post by gordonwrites »

I rated this book 2 out of 4 but it could have easily been 1 out of 4. The story made little impact on me and it was terribly slow. Insignificant character development left me not really caring what was going to happen. The dream sequences were long-winded and confusing. Not one I can recommend, unfortunately.

The dream sequences were a bit long-winded, I agree.
