So good I read the whole series. I have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic tales. There's a not-so-subtle message in these books that should give readers a chance to take a good look in the mirror.

Enjoyable read for fantasy fans- particularly those who like mythology. The book moves right along, but I found myself not as engaged with the protagonist as I would like. The charm of Chocolat was hoped for but not found. I'm interested to hear reactions from teens reading her for the first time.
