River's Recruit by Charlotte Abel

4.0

This was a good story, even though it seemed to lack a certain versimilitude. I can't really put my finger on why I thought the hero was a cookie-cutter guy-who-went-off-to-war-and-came-home-injured, but I can definitely tell you that any society that's been growing all their own food for centuries in a temperate climate shouldn't be rationing fresh apples and living entirely out of jars in late fall.

If you just suspend your disbelief, though, the story is certainly fun. Unfortunately, it ends on a major cliff-hanger and no second book seems imminent, so I'm not sure I'd recommend anyone else read it at the moment....
