Customer Reviews
Just a fabulous emotional, equine accurate story
If you have the slightest love for equs you will love this beautifully written story of courage over adversity.
My husband complained I wouldn’t put it down
This book brought me to tears, had my heart racing and smiling like a clown! I really enjoyed reading this book and couldn’t put it down
Not worth reading
This was my 3rd and last book of Jojo I’d ever read.
First of all the beginning was so boring I thought I’d quit,
The story lines made no sense, nothing glued into one piece, and I was just getting lost.
The main characters were annoying, either childish or selfish.
The way the author, which may not have been her intention stereotyped throughout the book people from ethnic minorities was very unpleasant to read. She also seems to specifically dislike the ‘slaves’ as she calls them, especially women. Portraying them as evil, pretty but stupid and opportunistic (not her only book she does that).
The ending was predictable and unsatisfying.
