2 Down, More to go!

Hey. I'm new to White Pine, and I've just read Gotcha! and Daughter of War. Those books were pretty good.

I found Gotcha! was interesting, and somewhat predictable. It did have alot of twists that I wasn't expecting though, which is what I like. I also liked how some of the story was told in email format, and how some main details in the plot weren't introduced right of the bat. I found that made me want to read on, and find out what was happenning. It did keep me guessing through most of it. I did like the message of how little things that you think don't mean anything can turn into something very unexpected, and in so doing we learn more about people, places, and stuff around us.

I liked Daughter of War a bit more than Gotcha! because of the way the story was told, and of the deeper meaning to it. I liked how the different characters were separate in their stories, but yet their different situations connect into one main story. I also liked the how the story showed how different people survive things, and how if we make it through, things will get much better. I did find the story to be very sad in some parts, but I felt it was good, and so that's why I liked it a little bit more than Gotcha!

I'm looking forward to reading some of the other books, like After River! I'll keep you posted on that. :)
