Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 10, 2014
Ryn Shell mixes genres here, and takes the historical fiction genre through a variety of different locales. Set in Australia, this book goes through a variety of dramatic moments, and illustrates a variety of emotional connections that will grip you and hold your attention throughout. It’s a short novel, but one that has a great deal of adventure, history and more.The work is very much on par with what you would expect from modern film making. As things play out for the communities detailed here, you will no doubt envision movies like “Avatar”, “Congo” and others. It’s got similar notes here and there, and you’ll feel the epic tale unfold from small town to coming of age and a solid ending. You really get to know characters, in a fast paced novel that has me hooked.I recommend picking this one up. It’s hard to truly explain it all, as it is a multilayered adventure novel, with historical fiction ties and so much more.
