Green Angel

Lovely writing...meh everything else

I'm curious as to just how many young adults enjoyed this book because I don't think this was a book that would widely appeal to the young adult set. It is lyrical and magical, but it is painfully slow and very, very thoughtful. The book is a quick read, but I felt like the pacing was too drawn out. Nothing happened, and yet everything happened. There are no details, but it was almost as if this was a novella that takes place between two books in a series. Like how Veronica Roth wrote short stories focusing on other characters between her Divergent books. I was a lovely book, albeit sad, but it was a beautiful little story about forgiveness.

I read this in about an hour and a half. It was an intersting story. I may have liked it better if Green could have seen faults in her family. I guess nostalgia and all but her moonlight sister was just too good to be true.

Addition: Now that I have read the sequel I like this much better. Read them together in a complication called Green Heart.
