The Rose Legacy by Jessica Day George
4.0
This was a fairly quick, enjoyable read for me. I'm not really a horse person (nor was I as a little girl) but I do love Jessica Day George's books.
It was fast paced and I cared about all the characters. The tension was well paced and the actual writing flowed well.
The main reason I brought down my reading to four stars was that I wanted more from the book. There were parts of the world and plot that didn't feel fleshed out enough, with too many things left unexplained, or explained to quickly in a tell-not-show way. There was instalove between the girl and her horse, making her character change feel very rushed. The solution felt too easy at the end of the book.
Overall, I'm excited to read the rest of the series, because I did enjoy it while I was reading. I do hope we get more with them. It's also a book I will definitely have my girls read as they get just a little older, because I think most young girls would really enjoy it.
