Review : Daughter of Centaurs

In a world where dystopian meets fantasy this book was an interesting concept.  We follow a young human girl into the bush of what could be an African savanna of modern time after her whole village is decimated. Her only companion left from her father and the village she loved is a horse.  Along the way the two pick up more horses and she finds herself taking care of a whole herd of horses she lovingly thinks of as her boys and girls.  She and the herd are trapped by a group of Centaurs. They take her to the Highlands where they live and her life changes.

I found this book to be fascinating.  I couldn't put it down.  It was a good read but some of the parts fell a little flat.  The development of the main character was quite nice but the other characters were a little flat.  The horses were more interesting than the Centaurs which is depressing.  Though I got the feeling that the Centaurs, at least the Highlanders, were more or less the idealistic philosophers of the age of the Greeks and Romans.  The were too frivolous and airy to care about the others below them for my liking.  Though I must say, this book left me wanting more.  I would surely read the next book that comes out.

Yep.  Another review.  I need to crank out another soon because I'm such a loser that I'm lazy.  I'm pretty sure I stink at writing reviews but I'm doing it anyway because I can.  Ha!
