saphirablue 's review for:
The Island Stallion
by Walter Farley
Well, that has been disappointing. :(
I really liked the beginning with the exploring of the tunnel systems and the adventure like vibe I got from it. But later? When the time on the island has come to an end and Steve decided to forsake an entire breed of horses because he wants his (wild and barely tamed) horse with him? Knowing what will happen to the other horses when a certain character learns of the existence of this herd? Seriously? The whole seesaw between "It's better for the herd to let Flame here." and "Nooo. He's mine. I have to take him with me." really started to get on my nerves in the end and Steve became very unlikeable for me then. And when Pitch did it for the artefacts too? Yeah. Not a happy reader I've been.
