A review by silver_valkyrie_reads
Huntress by Julie Hall
4.0
I'm having trouble figuring out how to review this one. All I can say at the moment is that it's better than I would have thought for being the teen novel version of heaven. Review to come, hopefully...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I'm going with four stars on this book. The premise is great, and it gets enough of the important stuff right that I can tolerate the weird bits, and writing is good. In a way life in this version of heaven is almost more like it would have been on pre-fall earth than it actually would be in heaven (human marriage still exists, etc). I can understand how it's a lot easier to write interesting character arcs in this version of heaven than a more accurate version, so I can tolerate that.
I will say that if you're planning to read this book for cool fighty bits, you may be disappointed that a good two-thirds of the book is taken up by training and interpersonal stuff.
