Quick read. This book has a little bit of magic and other-worldly things that I enjoy. Definitely will read the other books in the series to see what happens.

A perfect fluff book. Fun characters, interesting to see how they all intertwined together. I enjoyed this book.

I gave this book two stars because I found it difficult to follow the characters and who was a female and who was a male. The story is heart-breaking for sure. I don't think I'm generally cut out to read classics.

Kristie is on page 120 of 267 of As I Lay Dying: I'm having a hard time with this book. The story is interesting but the characters and the way it's written are/is driving me crazy.

I dubbed this the book that never EVER ends. The beginning and end were great and most of the middle was good but it just went on and on and on. I decided I couldn't keep track of all the characters so I probably lost some of the finer details but I...more

Derick gave me this book to read, he says it was his favorite. I could not get into it. The idea of children and aliens, it's just not my thing. The only reason I finished it is because my kid gave it to me.

I think I just like fantasy books with magical twists. There were a few characters I got confused about but I sorted them out by the end in my mind. I intend on reading the other two books because I enjoyed this one so much.
