Review: Scars and PTSD
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 25, 2012
Having lived in warzones and have friends with PTSD, Jace's has the more extreme symptoms of PTSD but I still found that the author portrayed it accurately.  The two main characters were superb, I had to suspend belief that a boy who had only attended school until 13 could be so articulate but this is where I think the editing problems came from - we needed more of Nathaniels backstory - snippets were given throughout the book but not explained in detail - I could assume that he had some people helping him and that he attended school but I had to guess a lot - But his devotion ot Jace was clearly demonstrated and Jace's father Mac was a great secondary character.  I honestly loved the book until 75% of the way in and then I struggled with the quick resolution and the path it took. But I would read books by this author again and enjoyed the effort she put into describing this difficult affliction.
