His leg crushes against my injured thigh” “Suddenly he’s on top of me, with both hands around my neck, choking me so I can’t breathe. I’ll give an example from Storm Siren that stuck out at me as inappropriate and in contrast, a similar situation in The Hunger Games that was appropriately vague.

There also becomes a point in which descriptions become too graphic for this age group. I feel there is a fine line that simply becomes too much for young teens to handle. However, this book is not what it claims and that is what bothers me.Įverything that is wrong with this book 1-Eluding to child abuse or sexual abuse of a child. I’m not just a prude, I have read many books with content that is less than squeaky clean Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series comes to mind. This book is a very poor example and has absolutely no business being classified as a Christian genre, nor in being published under a Christian banner. To be a Christian means to have a Christ like character. I’m trying really hard to keep the snark and disdain for this book out of my review but given how far from “Christian” this book is…I’m having a hard time of it. I felt like I’d fallen in the mad hatter’s hat, transported myself into Wonderland and suddenly, I’m five years old and learning to count. I’d probably have given it a three and that’s largely because the author had this annoying issue with “counting.” I counted, one, two, three, a gazillion times that she felt the need to count in the manner in which I just did. I honestly wouldn’t have rated as a one star. If this book had been published by a secular publishing company and had it not been labeled as YA. I kept thinking that maybe I would change my mind but I haven’t.

I’ve sat on writing this review because of how I felt.
