Just finished reading it yesterday…feel the same way. Left me feeling lukewarm. I kept waiting to find out who 9 year old Norah was and why she was magical. There were too many storylines within storylines. First there’s Norah and a lonely old woman then cut to Una and her old grandmother. Cut then to Erica and her boyfriend on the run storyline. Then Sean the 3rd grader next door who’s father abandoned him. Then Diane the aunt comes into the picture half way through. All the while Norah has magical powers? or does she? Nothing has anything to do with the other.Stick to one storline! I was left puzzled… Why!!!??? The answer I was looking for never came. Maybe someone else who read it can enlighten me cuz….I DON’T GET IT.

I started this one on vacation this summer and never made it very far. It just didn't catch my attention... .-= Melissa - Shhh I'm Reading´s last blog ..Booking Through Thursday...2009 In Review =-.

I liked this well enough when I read it this past spring, but it’s since mostly fallen out of my head – guess it didn’t make too deep of an impression! I do remember that you are absolutely right when you say that it could epitomize winter – I read it in May, and it left me feeling so cold and gray that after I finished I had to go lay in the sunshine for a little while to clear my head.

Hmm...this is the first lukewarm review of this book I've read! I'm still planning on reading it, but I'm glad you've tempered my expectations a bit. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..The Girl Next Door – Elizabeth Noble =-.

I'm so bummed that you were only lukewarm. I'm so looking forward to it. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Review: Sweeping up Glass by Carolyn Wall =-.

Although you didn’t love it, it does sound interesting, I may see if my library has it.

I don't know, sounds like a strange concept to me. I love themes about faith, but it doesn't sound like the author took full opportunity to explore that with this story. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..The History of the West Wing =-.

I have The Stolen Child in my TBR collection to read but am not familiar with this one. It definitely sounds like an interesting premise. Even though it didn't quite work as well as you might have wanted, you've certainly go me curious. Thanks for the review, Meghan! .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Christmas Came Early This Year =-.

I heard a lot about this author's first book, The Stolen Child. I haven't read it yet, but I want to. This one doesn't seem as interesting to me. .-= Aarti´s last blog ..Review: The Blade Itself =-.

Sounds like an interesting concept that wasn't executed as well as it could have been. Too bad. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Review: Roses =-.
