Amazing. Jackie French has done it again!The book wasn't very interesting...VERY BORING
Brilliant writing. I read the first chapter about 30 times just to absorb the word usage.
This book is clearly written for young adolescents, and keeping the target audience in mind, is done quite well. It is set in Ancient Greece in the time prior to the battle of Troy. The author has clearly researched about the culture of the era, but has not managed to create a convincing world. This is largely due to the dialogue in the novel. It is an entertaining tale, and gives an interesting possible history for aspects of the era that have become part of Greek legend.
I read this book about a year or two ago and I must say it is a great read. I usually put down a book if I'm not interested enough, but this book had me I'm in grade 10 now and to be honest, I'd read it again. The plot and story line is so compelling. Coming from a greek background also made me more interested. But yeah loved it.
An excellent coming of age story set in a distant distant past. She has brought the time and the people to life with scant written records to rely on.
I love everything written by this author anyway. This is a beautiful story about a brother's and sister's determination to survive togther in an otherwise cruel world.
