I was not
sure how I would feel about this book since it has a slow-paced climax, but I
ended up enjoying it. The characters have great development that really builds
the storyline. The setting and language used really emphasizes the point in
time and what the setting is like.
Gathering
Blue is about an orphan with a twisted leg who gets sent to what is called “The
Council of guardians” and that is where she is fostered, she is a talented
threader and is looked up to fix the robe. She later reveals the truth behind
her home.
While this
book was slow-paced, I did really like the plot twists. It kept the book interesting while still
making sense and connecting with the rest of the story. I would recommend this
book to anyone who finds interest in a good storyline and more aged literature.
