Review by Bruce Carroll
This is a clever and uplifting story about a wild mustang.
It is an easy read, but it may not be suitable for young children as it does
include heartbreak, hardship, and death.
The story is somewhat episodic, but some events do connect
as the story progresses. It does not have chapters as such, but the narrative
does include many divisions for easy reading. I finished it in about a day and
a half, and that was with my busy schedule.
While the description of the horses and their perceptions
are well executed, the descriptions of the humans and their perceptions are
sometimes lacking. At one point two characters decide to “stop at their
favorite restaurant for lunch.” We are told “they ordered and ate,” but no
details of either the restaurant or the meal are given. It would be nice to
know what kind of restaurant it was, what the decor was like, what they ordered
and how it smelled and tasted. Then we readers could decide for ourselves if it
was “their favorite.”
The eBook itself could use some additional formatting, as I
found some paragraph breaks mid-sentence. Still, the story was enjoyable, and
the ending most satisfying. I look forward to more from Cathy Kennedy.
I received a free copy
of this book in exchange for an honest review.
