Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
2.0
Overall, this book was good. I enjoyed the way it embraced darkness but wasn't necessarily unhappy. The end of the book took a really thoughtful and interesting look at the ways in which people's lives change and overlap. There are a lot of stories about young people who meet their one true love and fight to be together in their perfect love forever. It's refreshing to read a story about people who fall in love with each other and other people. It's great to talk about the ways in which our love and feelings change and grow with us.
I think Tik Tok is the best character in this book. His story and the background story of Phillip's influence over the tribe are heartbreaking and powerful. It was fascinating to read about Tiger Lily and the villagers coming back together after all of the changes.
I really didn't like that this book was narrated by Tinker Bell. It resulted in us reading from many different points of view in a cheap way. It was more confusing and limiting than it was a gateway into the minds of each character. It was weird that she kept telling us how everyone felt.
This book is good, but I didn't really love it. There is a lot of introduction and explanation, so it took about 60 pages for things to start picking up. It took me forever to finish reading this even though it is a pretty easy read.
