I mostly enjoyed this book. I thought Kya "Marsh Girl" was a resilient character and Tate was a compassionate character, but was disappointed by the ending. I also thought that the poems sprinkled throughout the book were too much in some of the chapters. Owens was very descriptive in her writing and I could vividly picture the setting. Overall I enjoyed the book until the last chapter.

Update- July 24, 2020- If you do one thing, after readingThe One and Only Ivan, of course it should be to immediately listen to the audiobook version of Bob’s story narrated by the incomparable Danny DeVito! What an absolute treat! I’m changing my stars on this one! April,2020-mid pandemic- I recently attended a virtual workshop sponsored by School Library Journal and received an electronic ARC from Harper Collins for an honest review. I appreciated being able to read this early, but I will have to read a real copy, so that I can see the illustrations of Bob, and his crew. Just a truly enjoyable adventure story about Bob, Ruby, and Ivan, and a whole new cast of characters.

This book was not as good as Uprooted was but it was still well written. It was written in multiple different view points, which I think added to the story but there were times when it was hard to tell which person was narrating the story. I've also found that while most of her plot lines are well developed, her romance plot lines are not. They feel out of place and like they just put that as an afterthought. It felt abrupt and unnecessary to the plot, and took away from the magic of the story. Overall though it was a good book, and it's good if you ignore the poorly written romance

The King Maker

This book was a fantastic mix of Romance, Native American Activism, and straight up ugly Capitalism. The main characters (Nix and Maxim) are fantastically well written and developed. The author really must have done a lot of research for this story, and she was very good at finding a topic that is very relatable to what is happening today without, completely mirroring real situations. I jumped right in to the sequel!

Excellent story, have read this author before but this was such a great story, found it hard to put down. This was definitely one of her best books yet, and that's saying something, because so far I have enjoyed them all.

Some incredible stories about our veterans. Why they joined and the things they went through. Some are kind of mundane, others will make you want to cry, while others will makw

Fast paced psychological thriller pitting family against family and the playing field is not level. This book hits all the buttons for a smart ly written book. A wonderful read.
