Review: I am WAY older than a tween and STILL loved it!!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I have to start off by saying that I went to the author's page to see if there were any more books to the Daughter's of Eve series when I saw this one was free.  I loved that trilogy, and would not be upset at all if she decided to expand it or find a way to, ummmm, maybe branch another series off of it?? Maybe??  Ok, moving on...I really try to stay away from Tweeny books, a lot of times they are just too annoying and cookie cutter with icing for me, but like I said above, I loved the other series, so I decided to jump in here, and now I am happy I did!  I can see how the balance of the Fates would affect the world and that they would want to retire every couple thousand years or so.  I love the mythology and mysticism behind it all, but I would have liked to learn more about the mother and if Farris is truly her child or was she put into her care?  There are still so many unanswered questions, I hope the next books have some of them.  The ending was so abrupt, I almost felt like I hit a wall!  I know why author's do it, but sometimes, it's ok to let us down a little slower, I really didn't expect to "flip" my page(iPad) and bonk right into The End!!  SMACK!  But it worked, I am now the proud owner of the 2nd book!I gave it 4 stars because of the outstanding questions about her family that could have been answered relatively easily, unless there is something I have yet to learn.  If that is the case then add back a half star.  The other half is that Bonk of an ending.  Seriously, I like a tiny bit of resolution at the end of my books, cliffhangers are great, but when you leave us without a parachute, it really can hurt.  Especially if you can't get to the next book right away!Happy Reading!DawnBee <3
