"The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond" Book Review



It's funny, I have big feelings about this book. I just don't know what they are. 

I'm going to go with positive ones though.

"The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond" is really two stories in one -set generations apart. Slowly, as the book moves forward, the two stories become increasingly intertwined. Author Jaime Jo Wright did a great job of bringing them together - especially since at the beginning they seem to have nothing to do with one another. The many plot twists and reveals was great too.

My only criticism, and it's totally likely to be on my part, not the book's, is that at the beginning, I couldn't keep the characters straight. Maybe there were too many introduced all at once. It's a hard hill to overcome though given that, like I already mentioned, this is two stories in one book so double the names is needed.

Though there is violence, there's nothing gruesome or disturbing. Just an enjoyable mystery with many "I didn't see that coming!" moments.
