Review: From Sea to Shining Sea

From Sea to Shining Sea by James Alexander Thom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another fascinating read from Thom. This book never felt as long as the page count indicates while reading it. I would have given four stars except for some unnecessary scenes.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is captivating from the start. I would have given four stars but for the occasional descriptions that were unnecessary.
Review: The Monster in the Hollows

The Monster in the Hollows by Andrew Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the third book in The Wingfeather Saga. The first part is a breath catcher after the end of the second book. The story seemed to drag a little with some near action during their time in school. Once the action starts, it accelerates quickly. Peterson still pulls off some surprising twists. We did this as a family read-aloud and more than once I had to resist the urge to read ahead. We are anticipating the final book and I am eager to read future work from Andrew Peterson as well.
