I really enjoyed Keturah and Lord Death. It's a short read but pretty darned packed. The writing style makes it feel like an old legend. The love story was sweet and the way it wrapped up was very satisfying. I didn't buy into everything but I also didn't feel the loss of some things I'd normally ne...
I loved this book. It's very sweet and simple. There aren't a lot of frills, which is probably why it's so short. I liked that Keturah has grown to understand death, not as something scary and fearsome, but as something that makes everything else so vibrant. It's a little bit more ... swoony, romant...
Amazingly good. I have no talent for writing and thus could not express all the beauty and meaningfulness of this book. I did not expect such a great story to be told in just 200 pages and with such a seemingly simple plot.
I hated this book. Hated hated hated. Yes, there was cheesiness, and the characters were not terribly well-drawn, but that wouldn't have garnered a one-star review for me if not for the ending. I haven't read all the other reviews--there are many--but among those I have read, almost no one has menti...
I tried to write a longer review for this. I really did. Not reviewing a book like I usually do makes me want to tear my hair out, but I couldn't find much to say this time around. That's part of why I downgraded the rating from four stars to three. Good books that leave me this sort of speechless t...
It's a fairytale that reminds me of things I liked in Goose Girl, both written with simple language and told in a straightforward manner; neither of these things took from Keturah's story. Keturah is kind and will do anything to keep her people safe. Once loved simply for telling a story or for bein...
7/15/11 ** Absolutely phenomenal book. I was out with no book, so stole one from my husband's bag, though I'd never heard of it. Keturah lives in the poorest village in the kingdom and is known for her storytelling skills. When she wanders into the forest and gets lost, she meets Lord Death and, usi...
Keturah and Lord Death reads like a mix of One Thousand and One Nights and a Robin McKinley fairytale retelling. However, I’d venture to say that there’s more character interaction here than in one of McKinley’s novels. Though this is a simple story and one that’s not entirely new, it does have char...
I needed to bump this one up. I'll have to come back to do the review justice, but this one was so well done. I was just reminded yesterday how amazing this book is.I love fairy tales. This one begins with a story, and stories are used again and again (I love themes involving the strength of storyte...
