The Heartland books are a fun read, and they’re pretty quick to get through for me. You get your horses and your heartache from Heartland. These books are pretty steady, all continuing the story of Amy, Lou, Ty, Jack and the assorted horses.
The writing and subject matter are obviously intended for children, and can be a bit clunky at times for individuals with a higher reading level.
Since there isn't a lot to say, this review is similar to past reviews of this series. I recommend this series to kids who love horses, or parents who want there children to read something that's about hard work and some of life's tough lessons.
emotional hopeful fast-paced

I both loved and didn't like how the attention is on a few different horses instead of focusing on one case like the other books. It did work for this one in particular as it shows just how torn Amy is, but I still missed a little of the depth. Also, Amy being so stubborn about was a little frustrating and made it less enjoyable. Though again, it did work for the story as it showed  how much she was struggling with deciding what to do. I just think it would have worked better with one decision verse being split into multiple decisions. Still really enjoyed the horses and the overall plot line of this one.

WHO KEEPS LETTING ME READ THESE BOOKS IN PUBLIC??? *sobs in corner*

I think this was the one when Amy has to decide what to do with their horse Storm. It was so boring... compared to the other books. All that thinking and pain "what shall I do?". As if it was OK for any teenager to run a farm and make such decisions. It was so unbelievable, I didn't enjoy it.

2.5 Stars

I liked this one and it definitely has some emotion, like the others in the series but it just seemed a little bit repetitive to me.
