Read from October 15 to 18, 2015
Sypnosis:China, 1898. An unwanted and unwelcome fourth daughter, Four-Girl isn't even given a proper name by her family when she's born. She finds friendship--and a name, Vibiana--in the most unlikely of places: Christianity.
But China is a dangerous place for Christians. The Boxer Rebellion is in full swing, and bands of young men roam the countryside, murdering Westerners and Chinese Christians alike. Torn between her nation and her Christian friends, Vibiana will have to decide where her true loyalties lie...and whether she is willing to die for her faith.
Pages:170
Rating:★★★☆☆
Thoughts: Hard to choose between ★★☆☆☆½ or ★★★☆☆.
Once it got to the end, it was the ending of Boxers all over again and it wasn't as amazing and omg-wtf shelf worthy but maybe that's just because I already knew what was going to happen but this time from a different perspective. I think I'll go with a solid ★★★☆☆ because it was still told brilliantly and I love that it changed perspectives. It was a smaller book than Boxers and I don't feel it went into as much detail as Boxers but instead seemed rushed, just to tell the same story from a different pov.
