rameau's ramblings
A reader who’ll try anything once, including bad books in search of good ones. Eclectic as her tastes are, she tends to gravitate to historical romances, realistic contemporaries, and some fantasy novels.
The Sparrow (The Returned, #0.6) by Jason Mott
Everything I said about The First applies to The Sparrow as well. Written in third, telling rather than showing, there's a distance to the characters—-which actually works better here than in The First. This is a story about a couple who finds a Returned, a little girl, and takes her home. Again the issues of a dead person coming back to life and others' reactions to it are barely touched upon. There's simply no time for it at all.
