A review by moonwisdom
Swift by R.J. Anderson

4.0

Towards the beginning I thought I'd be giving this two stars, mainly because I thought the pacing was rather off. But as I read more the story totally hooked me. And, it explored questions of identity and what it means to be family or kin, questions of (dis)ability, and questions of authority and when it's okay to discard it. I thought it was a really well-done and nuanced exploration of these questions in a middle-grade novel. Now I can't wait to get the second book. Though this is quite different than the Ultraviolet duology (still my favorite books I've ever read), R.J. Anderson never disappoints!
