I loved this book because I loved the setting and the characters. The author did an amazing job making the setting believable and making it realistic. For someone who never saw 7056 BC, she did an amazing job immersing the reader with details. I thought the plot line was interesting and unique. A lot of books with a similar setting do a bad job of connecting the reader to their characters. But this author did a pretty good job of connecting me not only to the characters, but also to the emotions that were invested in the book. The book flowed great and was an overall good read.

Chagak was an interesting character in herself because of her strength in a world that doesn’t always expect or accept it. At first she fell in line with everyone else and accepted her position in life. Then she got brave and started to survive on her own. Her character was very dynamic and I liked how she changed throughout the book. She became more self dependent and strong as she learned to fend for herself and accept her losses. This book requires a courageous main character and Chagak fits the bill in every way.

Not only is Chagak a great character but all the other ones are too. I liked how they supported Chagak and added to her story. The other characters helped build her into a stronger woman and added special details to her character.

Sometimes I wasn’t as connected to the characters as I would have liked and I felt that the plot was a little shaky. But overall I really enjoyed reading this book and I will enjoy more books by this author and publisher.
