Teen fiction selection that wasted no time lollygagging and got right down to brass tacks. In a fantasy world of humans, dwarves, centaurs, etc. etc., Abisina is born an outcast in her village. As are all born possessing any of the wrong characteristics, to wit, not blond haired and blue eyed. Abisina must leave Vranille for Watersmeet, to find the father she just learned of. She encounters the "demons": dwarves, centaurs and others; in doing so she learns that all is not what she has learned growing up in prejudice.
Is it just me or did this review seem terse and unremarkable?
Favorite Quotes:
Didn't come across anything that struck me.
Overall Opinion:
Fine for any age. The story is a predictable good vs. evil, overcoming fear, prejudice, etc., etc. tale, but would most likely engage a young reader, particularly girls.
Rating:
Why not read? There are better books, but this one is not a complete waste of a couple of hours.
