I have not had the pleasure of reading the other books in this series
but "The Great Escape" was a fine book on its own. The characters were
developed well and stayed true to their unique personalities. Lucy the
main character was full of emotion. She was bubbly at times, sad, lost
and on the fence of life. There was a lot going on in this book, maybe a
bit too much at times but it did not really take away from the story.
Lucy is running and hiding from life, what she is expected to do, want
and feel and yet she is determined as a person. The second character in
the book Bree is actually my favorite and I have high hopes she will
evolve more into a book of her as the main plot. Bree also with problems
because of life and what was handed her, example: Toby a strong-minded
boy left to her to raise .. and although she doesn't run and hide, she
struggles to deal with any of it face front; until Lucy and her meet
and absorb knowledge and ability from their strange friendship. Another
character Panda, (didn't like the name personally, rather awkward in
the reading), was a great character and not exactly what you think he
is. A motorcycle, rough guy or is he? He helped Lucy flee from or was it
flees to?
This book did seem hurried at some points and as if too
much was stuffed in between the pages but it was an enjoyable read. Bree
was the more realistic character and provided that magic which kept me
reading.
I received this book via goodreads first readers and enjoyed the ability to read it and meet an author I had not read yet.
