The Water Horse by Julia Gregson

4.0

The book was... A literally an open gate to another world, no, an open gate to Catherine's eyes, the book made me feel as if I WAS Catherine, as if I LIVED in that era, the dystopian atmosphere went straight to my heart and took me into Catherine's world. Catherine taught me so much, though she was not away from the idea of "not the typical girl of her time, she's rebellious, she's wild, she must be disciplined, and that's what makes her cool". She taught me what independence really means, what it means for an eighteen year old girl to live by herself during wars and where danger is the core trait of her time, she taught what it feels like when you go through so much experiences. The author knew how to describe Catherine's fear, sadness, dullness, the fire in her eyes. The book was outstanding!!
