This was a solid book. I was a bit distracted by the voice- which is that of an adult - telling the children's tale. This is, however, no fairy tale; much like real life, it's a bit messy and confused, there's direct damage, collateral damage, and undiscovered damage, the heroes aren't, decisions are malleable and second-guessed, much in this novel is gray. Further, there is no neatly taped shut happy ending.
It reads more like a memoir than a piece of fiction because nothing falls into place as if someone designed it. By the end, you feel confident, but not certain; again - just like life.
I'm looking forward to reading more by Werlin.
