Girls of a Feather

Feather by Susan Page Davis turned out to bee more than I dared hope for.  Historical fiction gives me tingles while post-apocalyptic stories give me shudders of anticipation.  I was tingling and shuddering all over the place!  Now, as you will quickly learn, not everything in life is all happy-go-lucky.  Getting kidnapped, in fact, has its downsides.  But the truly courageous rise above persecution and lift their fists in triumph!  Yeah, well, courage only gets you so far; it also helsp to have a marketable skill.  You fletch arrows?  We shoot arrows!  Ba-da-bing, Feather finds her place in the enemy camp and ends up doing alright for herself.  Her brother, poor little left behind Karsh, seems to be having a harder time with Feather's situation than she is.  I really did enjoy that it was not all sheer dumb luck that improved Feather's circumstances, but something she actively did.  Yay for adding value to a sitaution!  But can I say that her new buddy Tag's little pet seemed a tad far-fetched to me?  4 out of 5 golden arrows to Ms. Davis.  Nicely done.
