3.5 out 5 stars rounded up

The Water and the Wild by K.E. Ormsbee is the first book in "The Water and the Wild" series. It's a delightful beginning to the series.

The beginning of this book was awesome. I loved hearing about Lottie and Eliot's background and friendship. I loved hearing about the man who wrote Lottie letters/sent her gifts each year on her birthday. It was exciting, bright, and fun!

When we first got to Limn, I was still thoroughly enjoying this book. I found Adelaide annoying, but I could see her point of view as well as Lottie's, so I tried to allow her a little extra compassion. After all, it's her father that's in danger. The fact that the guard burned the house and the mob turned on the family so quickly was saddening, but the beginning of the journey was filled with adventure and intrigue.

I also loved the descriptions that Ms. Ormsbee provided us about the land of Limn and it's various regions. I could vividly see the world she has created and yet, there was still enough left to my imagination that I didn't feel overtaxed with detail.

However, the further the children traveled in their journey, the more tedious the book seemed to me. The journey was just too long. Having read the second book as well, I realize now that a lot of what the children encounter in the journey will serve them in the future. Even still, it bogged down the story line of this book to the point where I actually skipped ahead a little because I was getting too bored.

Outside of that, it was a delightful book. It's a very solid, good beginning to the series and I look forward to reading more from this author!

The Water and the Wild KE Ormsbee Elsa Mora 9781452113869 Books Reviews

Very interesting story.
It was hard for me to put it down!! Never knowing which way it would go the next page!!!
My daughter's favorite book of all time. She loved it so much that she asked me to purchase 24 copies so that her 4th grade teacher could teach the book to her classes for years to come.
This has gone onto my favorites shelf.
The writing style and word choice were delightful. I look forward to reading it to my own children in the future.
A beautifully written book. I bought for my 8 year old granddaughter, and read it first. Loved the story…beautifully imagined.
A great story about a so called out cast and love. Lottie loved her friend enough to go through all kinds of danger in order to save his life
