*Even though I spend most of my time reading middle-grade novels, I always enjoy an adult novel page-turner. I don't remember exactly where, but I read a positive review of the story and decided to purchase a hard-copy. The last few weeks have been crazy, but I recently finished.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
1. *Zelda is a twenty-one young women living with her older brother Gert.
2. *Gert is the older brother who makes it a priority to protect his sister Zelda.
3. *AK47 is the former girlfriend of Gert's, but always a support and friend to Zelda.
4. *All three of them depend on each other in a variety of ways after each overcoming hardships.
5. *When Gert makes some bad decisions, Zelda and AK47 come together to keep their "family" together.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
1. *The story of Zelda, Gert, and AK47 was told beautifully through the words of author Andrew David MacDonald.
2. *I appreciated the way Zelda was brought to life and I was able to relate to her feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
3. *The novel is definitely a character study, but there is also plenty of mystery and suspense.
4. *The characters were authentic with both positive and negative qualities like all humans have.
5. *I loved how Zelda and Gert lived by a Viking "code" and how the code helps them navigate through life.
Who Should Read It:
*All adult readers who enjoy a strong fictional story with strong and real characters should definitely put this title on their "to be read " list. I don't think you will be disappointed. Happy Reading!
