Book Reviews of Fire and Hemlock
Book Review: Almost Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, though the novel is designated for Young Adults, this retelling of the Tam Lin legend is no more just for children than any fairy tale is. It's about something very difficult and powerful and life-changing. Up until the last two chapters, I'd say that the novel was nearly perfect. However, as many other readers have pointed out, the end is confusing. I read it carefully, but I don't understand Polly's logic behind her actions or how they would have defeated the evil faerie queen and set Tom Lynne free. I'm glad the story ended happily, but I have no idea what happened.
