I was all set to give Thirteen Orphans a try, but I couldn't even manage to get past page 60. It essentially seemed like a book that's plot would work out really well, but it feel short in my eyes. The main character Brenda seemed to put a lot of importance on the way someone looked. Well conside...
Rating: 2.5This book was very similar to the first in the series. I found it had more Chinese mythology ramblings than was really necessary, and otherwise I also found Honey Dream's drastic personality turnaround rather unbelievable (though relieving). Ultimately, this book wasn't that much diffe...
after reading this book I am on the fence of whether I thought it was great or not. I have a lot of questions but I did like the characters and the world the author created. I often get sarcastic when humans have close knit relationship with animals but the connection in this book felt believable...
Ignoring all the other reviews below, I'll stare my own opinion haha. BtDCtO (the book) was really good, I really liked it. So much that I finished it within the day that I picked it up. So for a back story, SPOILERS, skip to the end of the paragraph if you've read it. Sarah, a thirty-something y...
Once again my son and I read about Firekeeper together and once again we were richer for it. I believe this is the only advantage to having a child with a serious case of dyslexia. In spite of his age we get to sit side by side enjoying a story that takes us a to place out of time and away from o...
My 18-year-old son and I are still enjoying reading about Firekeeper together. There is something magic in being able to share in the joy of a well-written novel that cannot be had in reading by myself.Jane Lindskold was at it again with the difficult-to-pronounce words. The worst one was the nam...
So the good - great to see fantasy that is not tired Celtic mythology rehashed or the annoying current Vampire craze which seems to be 90% of what passes for fantasy these days.The disappointing - the story was a wee bit of a letdown.I really have enjoyed other books by Jane Lindskold. I enjoyed...
Firekeeper was five years old when her remote village burned down, with her as the only survivor. She was taken in by wolves who are larger than the usual wolf, more intelligent—as is only natural since they are royalty. It’s ten years later when an expedition from beyond the mountain pass come l...
Having begun reading to my son about Firekeeper we kept on going. Believe it or not, but quite a bit of snuggle time goes into around 600 pages worth of story. 600 pages is a lot of words. Sometimes I think the two of us get so caught up in how words and sentences connect that we forget to pay as...
