At this point (and I'm sorry) I don't really care. You haven't given me a reason to care. A lot of telling here. I am intrigued that death is "a monumental gift".jennbaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984596786467447031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-88577960453404915142010-01-23T08:01:58.887-06:002010-01-23T08:01:58.887-06:00Thank you, Karin. That was my goal exactly. I lo...Thank you, Karin. That was my goal exactly. I love books that intrigue me at the beginning. It's the confusion, and subsequent curiosity, that keeps me reading - all the while thinking "What's going on?" and "Can I figure it out?". I was hoping to capture that here. :)<br />A few words of explanation... In the following paragraphs it is explained that she dies, but is resuscitated and comes back with a "gift" which is coveted by others. Hence, the need for a sentinel, her protector. He is the one writing this chronicle entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939951804632494408.post-43281788085607941422010-01-23T01:31:27.435-06:002010-01-23T01:31:27.435-06:00I actually really like this one.

I'm confused but my interest is definatly piqued. <br /><br />very young indeed to receive such a monumental gift: <br /><br />this to me says that there is SO much more to the story than what we know, and that its not a typical death. <br /><br />I would love to read more of this!<br /><br />I disagree with the other comments. I for one like the fact that I DON'T know whats going on and that's exactly WHY I'd keep reading.

I think some more info is needed so we know why Tru's death is a gift. And it does seem as if she's not really dead. I'm interested to know where this story is leading since it crosses so many genres.Michelle L.

It sounds very much like Tru is dead at this particular point in time, yet at the end the narrator speaks as though Tru were still alive.<br /><br />Even reading it over again several times, I don't understand what I've just been told.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437698825217730840noreply@blogger.com
