3/5
This was another hard one for me to rate. To me it was too depressing and long. I know war is not supposed to be all rainbows and gummy bears but even the happy moments seemed depressing to me. I was not fond of either Mary or Hilda. I did like Alistar and Zackery. The racism does play a big part in this book and one of my favorite parts, through Mary Zach is taught to read and write even through his LD.
Mary does show some growth in the book, which is good, however Hilda and Mary both just didn’t impress me. Instead I found both of them to be spoiled, rich, girls.
It wasn’t a completely bad book. There were some good parts. I expected more of this book and it did not deliver.
