Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard
3.0

At times this book is beautiful, and at other times, honestly, it made me want to shake somebody. As literature, it's not as good as I expected. As Christian allegory, it succeeds. The allegory's slim, though. Just about everything is straightforward in this book. What you see is pretty much what you get.

Hurnard is good at describing things of natural beauty. Her protagonist Much-Afraid just sometimes annoyed me with her seeming hyper-emotional responses to, well, everything. Maybe I'm being overly critical or ridiculous, I'm not sure. Suffice it to say that I don't regret reading it.
