The Roar by Emma Clayton - 481 pages - 3:30 PM (2:45 reading time)

I'm tempted to stop with this book -- just because I enjoyed it so much - both the tale and the writing - that I really hate to muddy it up with anything else. Do yourself a favor and read this one. A story well-told - with classic elements of timeless tales like A Wrinkle in Time and The Snow Queen - this one is a keeper.
