For now, I just want to clarify my rating scale, since everyone's criteria for rating books is invariably going to be different.

I love Barnhill's work, but this one missed the mark for me. The theme was good, but Barnhill kind of hit me over the head with it. On the other hand, The Witch's Boy and The Girl Who Drank The Moon were superb. ...more

A classic of its time, but it betrays its age with the POV, narration, and plot.

The characters were well developed, but for a story about WWIII, I found the tension to be lacking. Much of the action was "told" after the fact, eliminating any suspense or dramatic tension. It should have been a page-turner, but for me it wasn't. ...more
