dreximgirl 's review for:
The Land of Roar
by Jenny McLachlan
While I did enjoy this overall I found it weaker compared to other middle grades I have read recently. I think I struggled to connect to the characters especially as I found Rose really unlikeable. Arthur was such a lovely kid but then his twin seemed to have turned into a horrid little girl worried about what other people thought of her and being quite cruel to her brother. I think it was the cruelty with which she treated him and never really apologised for it which got to me the most. Had it not been for her I think I would have enjoyed it more. I would have loved to see Arthur develop his own confidence and self worth a little away from his twin.
The story was interesting though and I liked Roar as a land in itself though perhaps it would have been better if it would have explored the world a little more.
I gave this 3 out of 5 stars.
