Gathering Blue

The book I read was called Gathering Blue. It’s a story about a girl who is orphaned and after her mother dies she is supposed to die too, but she is taken to the Council of Guardians and they decide to keep her with them and give her a better life.

I think the characters were not really well developed, well at least looks wise. The author didn’t really tell you a lot about them. Of course you can get a mental picture yourself but it doesn’t really help.

Kira (the main character) was described as a girl with long hair and she was born with a twisted leg. They described her hands to appear to move on their own because her hands were so talented. She was able to thread fabrics very well. Matt, Kira’s friend, was described as dirty, he didn’t really talk well because he was from the Fen, he stole from people a lot, and always knew about everything, very nosey and never shy at all. Ja


I would say that the characters were believable. See there was an area called the Fen. The Fen was low class people who talked with very poor grammar. Kira described the Fen, “as a place with small cots close together; the incessant wailing of infants; the stench of smoky fire, rotting food, and unwashed humans”. The Fen was darker than other place, with trees thick overhead, and festering with dampness and an odor of ill health. The Fen kind of reminded me of the ghetto and the people of then Fen were like trashy people now. They were very rough and cold hearted people. Not even in opinion, it’s a fact. These people put themselves in front of their children. Parents were first and children were second.

Throughout the whole story Kira always described her village as chaotic. There was always people arguing and fighting and boasting. Mothers were always smacking their children and children were called tykes.
