It was only in a couple of spots and I read past it, but I wished things had moved faster at times. One, there was a bit too much talking and explaining. I had two things that bothered me to the point where I can’t give it a personal woo-hoo of a rating. Jason saves Echo, and the two of them go on the adventure of a lifetime to save his sister. While in the coma, he’s visited by Echo’s dryad mother, who will help him find his sister if he rescues her daughter, Echo, whose tree is about to be cut down and cut into firewood…which will mean Echo is chainsawed in half. He’s playing in a tree when he falls out, conks himself on the head, and goes into a coma. Her distant relative, Jason Fleeting, has been orphaned and lives at a school after the murder of his mother, the disappearance of his father, and the kidnapping of his sister. The tree heals her, only to leave her sleeping for centuries. Poisoned by a pursuer and near death, she hides inside a hollow tree. Echo is half-dryad her mother is one of the spirits of the trees. Her entire family, rebels against powerful nobility (like Robin Hood and his band of thieves), have been killed, except for one sister. The story starts out with Echo’s story in the past. In short: a magical girl from the distant past, trapped in a tree throughout centuries, is awakened by a boy to help avenge the murder of his mother and rescue his sister. The main character is a boy throughout the book, but Echo, a girl, has just as strong a part. *** Not my favorite but it might be yours.
