Review on Gathering Blue

Book: Gathering Blue
Author: Lois Lowry
Rating: 3 1/2

This is the description on the back of the book:

Left orphaned and physically flawed in a civilization that shuns and discards the weak, Kira faces a frightengly uncertain future. Her neighbors are hostile. No one will help Kira but a small boy. When she is summoned to judgement by the council of guardians, Kira prepares to fight for her life. But the council, to her surprise, had plans for her. Blessed with an almost magical talent that keeps her alive, the young girl faces new responsibilities and a set of mysteries deep within the only world she has ever known. On her quest for truth, Kira discovers things that will change her life and the world forever.


My Review:

On Kira's journey of truth I came across some intersting characters. I like how the author described each character very well. She showed their different personalities and I got to know them better. The best thing I liked most about the whole book is not knowing what will happen next. There were a lot of twists and turns. I really get annoyed when books are predictable.

What I disliked in the book is the ending. It ended like there would be a sequel but there isn't one. Or is there one that I don't know about? I don't want to guess what happened or make up my own ending. I want a complete story!!

If it wasn't for that bad ending I would rate the book 5 stars. My rating is 3 1/2 stars. If you don't mind open endings and like mystery and dystopian books then this would be something you would like.

P.S  My mom and I haven't figured out how to do rating thing but once we do i'll put it up.
