A review by kiramke
The Storm Keeper's Island by Catherine Doyle

2.0

The two stars are for the general idea and setting.  Beyond that, I didn't enjoy it.  The characters are flat and don't really develop, the plot is trope-heavy and a little muddled, and there's an awful lot of cruelty that's not given proper weight.  For most of the book it's annoying, and because each page is so annoying you never really get to enjoy the ideas.  Though it resolves itself a bit in the end, I'm consistently bothered by the interactions.  Not something I'd ever give to my nephew.
