I think the history and issues of the time were the most engaging. But really this is a solid Young Adult romance book.
Wonderful, sweet story of different families and histories coming together and supporting each-other.
I wanted to like it, and it may be wonderful for others, but I couldn't get past the lack of contractions.
Great start to a series, while still feeling self contained. The solution to the primary issue is far more out of the box than I could come up with.
Much more interesting than expected, especially around some ideas on how to relate with others who seem to be different.
Really enjoyed the book, even though some of the key mysteries could be figured out quickly. But this is ultimately a suspense book.
Great, fast, fun lighthearted story of life after dungeon crawling. I'm always a sucker for strong, unbreakable friendships.
Great book I read after seeing Jo Jo Rabbit. I really think the movie did the right thing, ending at about halfway through the book. The second half is almost a different story, and really changes things, and is incredibly troubling and thought provoking.
Interesting story and I wondered who did it for a long time. Even the characters I originally didn't like grew on me.
Incredibly moving book. I spent the first half incredibly angry at the end of each chapter,then the second half incredibly emotional. It's been a while that I've connected so much with the characters and their story.
I'm a bit of a sucker for books where two vastly different timelines tell one linked and cohesive story. The focus here on the horse and everything around it were incredibly deep and engrossing.
Another great, and surprising read. Very fast, and interesting to see how everything played out. I love that Shari's books tend to answer any questions you might have just when you think you need to suspend belief.
A great closing to the trilogy. I was pretty confused about halfway through the book, but everything really came back together. The entire premise was not what I expected, and yet still incredibly interesting and mostly plausible.
The writing is incredible, getting almost 1/3 of the way through the book and realizing certain connections are different. There's certainly the horror elements too, with some graphic deaths.
I definitely appreciated the protagonist working cohesively and openly with her team.
I wish I appreciated the ending as much.
I really loved the interactions and personal growth without situations or personalities seeming to be contrived.
Loved this book, and the following series. Some of the underlying themes aren't new, but the way they're discussed and approached are really unique.
I immediately got into the book, and we had three different story lines going. It ended really abruptly and it's obvious you need the follow on books to complete any arc.
Loved the book. I always appreciate a cozy mystery, and this kept me entranced the entire time.
Great, dystopian book that can stand on it's own or be read as part of the series.
Great story with a lot of inter twining lives worked toward a greater end.
