A review by harleyrae
The Forbidden Stone by Tony Abbott
I had received this book as part of a goodreads giveaway
So I'm gonna be completely honest here, i did not finish this book. While it kills me inside I jut couldn't do it. I like the idea behind the plot but I just for the life of me could not get into it. It might have helped if I was still 10 and read it, you an clearly tell it's for a younger audience. I didn't like how the characters seemed to be repeating everything. One paragraph they'd say one thing and thing and the next they'd say the exact same thing just a different way. To me everything almost seemed forced, they would get a coded message and act like the world is falling apart but that it isn't all at the same time. There also seemed to be no depth in the characters, it literally all felt forced like this is how your going to be and act, no questions asked. I wish there was more build up to, the whole star gazers map was just strange honestly and when they found out something bad happened, they seemed perfectly fine. I don't know maybe if I was younger I would have enjoyed it much more, maybe one day I'll reread it all the way through with a fresh pair of eyes. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
