I recommend not to waste time reading this book. It was a worn out story, set in a borrowed and questionable setting (from mythology), with choppy wording and an abrupt ending that leaves you frustrated. The point of the story is unclear, leaving me to wonder why the book was ever written?
There were some thought-provoking bits and some nice biblical images(I like the feather people, very allegorical). The end was somewhat unsatisfying, but that's okay. It is what it is.
I expected a similar story to Ella Enchanted and Fairest. Found it very different, but I still like it.
A Very sweet story. The present tense was a little hard to get into and the ending wasn't what I was expecting but it was good. As a Christian it helped me look at God in a new way and be thankful He isn't like those gods!
All around I lked the book!
The writing style was iffy and the theme was a bit blunt, but the story line itself was good. If only someone else with better word skillz had wrote it.
It started out really good, then the middle was weird, but the end was nice and simple. :) (my opinion)
although it was different because it didn't follow gail carson levine's normal trend of basing her stories on a well-known fairytale, this was a very good book (based on greek mythology)!!! :D
