FORTITUDE by Carrie Dalby – Review by Liz Vrchota

Fortitude by Carrie Dalby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

FORTITUDE by Carrie Dalby is one of those novels that crept up and swept me away unexpectedly. I was really not sure what to expect other than an darker coming of age story from what little I read before I was convinced that I needed to read it. I am glad that I did, and will definitely be adding this to my list of books to share with my tween daughter as she grows into that age. Claire O’Farrell is a character that can reach different age groups and still entertain while spreading a much needed history reminder and lessons in well, Fortitude. I was hooked on her journey from the very beginning and loved how Carrie Dalby brought to life the scenery as much as the characters. I felt as if I was right there amidst the chaos and sadness, weather it be in an action situation or a just an emotive situation where you could feel the emotions of the characters drip off the pages. It is definitely one I would recommend reading and having on your bookshelf too! I can’t wait to see what will come next from Carrie Dalby.
