Ember Island by Kimberley Freeman

4.0

I don't know why I'm so drawn to books that have dual storylines in the past and the present, but I am. Ember Island does it well. I found both stories intriguing, but the one set in the past more so. I felt it was better developed. The ideas explored of guilt and atonement were interesting, as were the differing opinions of the severity of the sin based on the perspective of the people. While I felt the end was a bit rushed, I still enjoyed it.
