And the Rainbow Award goes to:
How to Steal a Star by Geonn Cannon:
- This is an engaging and interesting plot: Women who write history. At times it presses the point a bit too much, but still great to see she-roes doing great things. The writing flows well (what is it with lie/lay escaping editing?). The end is a bit too optimistic.
- Interesting read. Writer moves plot/storyline at a good pace. Well written characters.
- Excellent character development and pacing in service of a decent if somewhat repetitive theme and plot and predictable outcome. Cannon is a very good writer and that saves this book from mediocrity.
- I know this author fairly well and I am glad to say that this book is a solid one between his bibliography. The plot was not only solid but had a lot of momentum to it, making it interesting during the whole journey. The characters had a vivid voice to themselves that made it easy to picture them as distinct individuals. I was particularly happy with the setting that was very peculiar and that made the book even more intriguing. Good read so much so that I would read a next instalment if he ever would like to go for it.
Runners Up:
Face the Wind (Little Sister Island Series #2) by Caren J. Werlinger
Accidental Desperados by Lee Lynch
