Customer Reviews

This was worth waiting for.

This book is really well-written. Shannon Hale is good at using few words to tell a whole lot, so it never feels long-winded or slow. The development of Miri’s character in this book is believable and satisfying, and the development of the world and the mountain girls’ connection with linder is masterful. It makes me want to read the first book again! All the characters are believable and interesting, and Miri is doing her best in a situation she’s never encountered before. I really believed in her and I was not disappointed. The ending could have been a little more complex, but this is a lighthearted children’s book, so tbh I’m glad it wasn’t.
