Messenger submitted by SBNB on July 2, 2014, 6:37pm Wow. This was a great book. I started it in the morning and couldn't put it down until I had finished.

Good submitted by peterflorence on June 19, 2015, 8:21am Very well written book but a sad surprise at the end.

Great book submitted by pixel gamer 3000 on August 8, 2015, 9:23am Awesome book but very sad ending.

dissatisfying submitted by camelsamba on June 30, 2017, 9:15pm I did not enjoy this story as much as The Giver or Gathering Blue. To fully explain why might spoil the story for others, but it mainly boils down to my feeling that the ending was dissatisfying: it was too abrupt and some of the details were inconsistent with other parts of the story.
