Earth Dragon, Fire Hare

So there was no indication from the blurb of this book that it was YA, but low and behold when it arrived by post, there was a ‘Childrens Book Awards' sticker on the cover.
It is fair to say I probably wouldn't have bought it, had I known that.

Having said that, it was a readable, although very simple, straightforward book. The plot and the setting were interesting, and appealed to me enough to seek it out, but it has very straight forward themes, and what plot twists there are, are fairly simply choreographed.

My rating of 4 stars is basically a rating of the book in its YA genre, not to be compared to 4 stars I would give a book more suited to me as a target market!
