TITLE: A Spear of Summer Grass
AUTHOR: Raybourn, Deanna
GENRE: Fiction/Romance
DATES READ: 12/31/2013 - 1/19/2014
MY RATING: 4.5/5
I received this book as a birthday present in 2013, and I loved the cover from the beginning. Once I got into it, I could not put it down; I was constantly looking for excuses to read just another chapter.
I appreciated the overall plot, but it was the setting in Africa that sold it for me. I could close my eyes after reading a chapter and instantly see, smell, and hear the African savannah. It was truly a joy.
While I didn't always agree with the protagonist, Delilah, I understood and appreciated her. All of the characters were so dimensional and well-developed. I loved Ryder and Dodo, and all of the society high life. But my heart lies with both Gideon and Tusker. A perfect beach read!
