A review by werdnamich
The Barren Grounds by David A. Robertson

2.0

I honestly would have DNFed this book if I didn't have to read if for work. I enjoyed the Indigenous elements in the book, but gave it only two stars because the plot was really simplistic and underwhelming. I've read middle grade fiction that is way more dynamic and complex than this one that claims to be inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia. Also, Morgan as a character? No, thank you.

And now I have to read book 2 for work, pray for me.
