A review by ellie_bell
The Elephant Keeper's Daughter by Deborah Rachel Langton, Julia Drosten

3.0

Three stars for the writing, which felt at young teen-YA level a lot of the time and for a while there I really felt as though I'd accidentally picked up a YA book. But then came some graphically described events which made it clear that it was not YA at all. At this point I decided that the writing style was possibly due to having been translated.

Rounded up to three and a half stars because I enjoyed the story, but it was a bit predictable and lacked depth.
