2.5 stars I feel like I kept reading this book waiting for it to culminate in a big scary face-off with Mister Magic or an entity or something. Or that a direct enemy would come forward and test the friends or something. The characters lacked any depth and I feel the story would be much more exciting with a little more character development to up the stakes.

A good symbolic and metaphorical book about escaping family and forced religion, though (the author grew up Mormon, as she explains in the afterward).

So, an okay book, but I feel I had more fun with HIDE by this author.
