Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson
adventurous
medium-paced
4.0
I ended up enjoying this story in spite of myself! The author really knew how to write some obnoxious characters, and the way the plot came together was v pleasing.
However, as much as the story was a good romp, I have a problem with how the white characters were clearly divided into 'good' colonists, who you are supposed to be on side with, and bad colonists, who are mean and horrid, and, _aren't the good colonists good_ because they're not horrid like the bad ones.
