tbspencer 's review for:

The Pretender by K.A. Applegate

4.0

dark tense medium-paced

This poor hawk boy just had the worst birthday ever. Lowkey the unbelievable reveal at the end made me forget the other main points but rest assured it was more Tobias grappling with his position between the human and animal worlds, as a predator and a warrior, all that good stuff. Wowza
