Reviews

[Vintagebooklvr · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well-written story that is more complicated than just kids defeat a monster. There is some moral ambiguity in the tale that shows nature and humans aren't just black and white. I thought it was a well developed story with lots of detail but enough action to keep readers interested. I would definitely like to read something more by this writer.
