lgindc 's review for:

The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings

I loved the ambiguity of Jo's thoughts about her family, Preston, and even the island. But the island itself didn't entrance me, and I wished
Spoilerher parents were not both such outright jerks.
I also felt there were a lot of loose threads that were never tied up--for instance,
Spoiler what the door in the sky represented, in its ability to both scream and sing; why it said Jo would get her own hut but then she continues living in her mother's hut; and I think once Tiana said something would have to be given/contributed for magic to work, but it's never clear what she is referring to.
