Hazel (1853 KP) rated The Plains of Passage (Earth's Children, #4) in Books

For the most part this book is quite interesting. The general story line is engaging however in between dialogue there is a lot of description about the settings which sometimes go on for several pages. Too much information, in my opinion. It makes the book boring and long to read. Sometimes it was like reading a text book, a non-fiction book about pre-historic times. I ended up skim reading quite a lot of the novel.

A short non-fiction ebook that draws comparisons from the magic written by J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series to the historical myths and folklore from which it's based. Invisiability, transforming into a creature, and warding off evil are just a few of the topics you'll find in this book.

I found this to be a fascinating read and would recommend it to any fans of Harry Potter who are interested in Mythology and Folklore.

Science Fiction is not my genre, so I did not read this one by personal choice. It was assigned for a literature class which meant that as much as I did not want to finish the book, I had to. Overall, for not being my genre it was a better read than I had expected it to be. At times the story seemed confused as to the direction it was going, but I think that was intentional by Heinlein.
