The Good Hawk by Joseph Elliott

4.0

OK... where do I start? We follow two characters, Agatha and Jamie. Jamie ( the angler) is a groom of an arranged marriage. Agatha is demoted from her watchman post (the Hawk) due to almost killing Jamie’s Bride boat, thinking it was an enemy ship. The sprinkle of uniqueness within this dark and thrilling story is Agatha has Down syndrome. At first, I wasn’t sure how I would feel based on the way she was treated by some of her clansmen. Agatha is not afraid of anything! She becomes a favorite character that makes impulsive decisions based on her temper. Jamie is cautious, and Agatha can be ruthless when it comes to her best friend, Jamie. Agatha also has a special gift that makes this story action-packed.
