Hanna Who Fell from the Sky by Christopher Meades
2.0
This book started out as a gradual read for me. It took me a slow while to get into the story and the characters. Yet, I don't think that I fully ever connected with Hanna, Daniel or any of the other characters in the story. Sadly, this did not help my reading situation. As it made it hard to stick with the story. Additionally, it made for slow reading.
When it came to Hanna, I wanted her voice to be stronger. It seemed to get muddled by her conflict to family and duty and love. Which in my case, I did not experience a great love connection between Hanna and Daniel. It seemed more that Hanna was in love with the idea of someone who was on the outside and could show her that there was more to life than what she was used to. Plus, the story seemed to stray on the lighter side of what cult life is like then digging deeper. Had that happy medium been found along with stronger voices lent to the characters, this would have different reading experience for me.
