A review by reading_rainy
Walking Through Fire by Sherri Cook Woosley
2.0
The premise of this book was so exciting! The blurb states “For fans of American Gods, a dark, humorous, and richly written, dystopian fantasy about the unbreakable bonds of family and the undying strength of a mother's love.”
So of course I had to read it!! A dystopian fantasy with a female lead character, yes please!
I was disappointed by the fourth chapter. The writing and dialogue feels juvenile and undeveloped.
Rachel’s is just plain annoying. Her voice is incredibly whiny and she is completely in denial about the new world. She sees things, and then tells herself they aren’t real. If someone else sees what she sees, she says it’s a shared hallucination. She has the strangest moments of weakness, and jealously that are so petty and immature.
While I did enjoy the overall ideas in this story, it wasn’t executed well.
