pico_picori 's review for:
The Mark of the Dragonfly
by Jaleigh Johnson
I'll be honest, if it wasn't for a few details, I would have given it a 4 star review.
First of all, Gee and Piper are both 13. My biggest problem is that at the end of the book, Piper and Gee seem to end up in what appears to be a dating relationship. Most kids are allowed to date when they're 16 (although I hold the personal belief that dating should only happen once you're 18). 13 year olds aren't even in high school yet, they're too young to date.
Anna and Piper's relationship is rather sisterly, but it's hard to see where Anna gets the concept from. In the story, it's a subject never discussed until the very end and then they just both agree that they're sisters now.
My only other issue is how the concept of the chamelins was handled, since I think it could have been done a little better, and I do think that Gee bounced back a little too quickly from the poisoning. On the other hand, the book was a generally fast-paced story.
I did like all the concepts involved, like the dust, and the objects that fell from others worlds. I am going to finish rereading all the books in this series(?) because I liked them when I was younger and want to see if they're as good as I remember.
But yeah, 3 stars.
