Book review: White Jenna

This is the sequel to Jane Yolen’s other novel, Sister Light, Sister Dark , which I reviewed fairly recently. The story was still good, but because it was the sequel to another book, I didn’t think it was nearly as effective. The pace felt a little slower, at least for most of the book, and Yolen employs a lot of standard issue fantasy tropes, which are great, but she could have avoided them.

I also felt the ending was too rushed, and a few important questions were glossed over in an epilogue that basically traces the ends of the characters' lives.

For all that, though, Yolen is an excellent storyteller, and her world is still intriguing despite my minor quibbles with it.
