The characters are all vivid and completely unique, and the author bravely allows them to experience the full repercussions of their actions, some of which is heartbreaking. Author Laura Amy Schlitz uses timeless poetic forms to tell the story, and, again, that is an achievement that the reader can't help but admire. The lives of these two children are fascinating to watch as the story unfolds. A brilliant book. ( ) debnance | Mar 2, 2021 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThingSUB2>.Told in both prose and verse, this fictionalized account of slaves and privileged is breathtaking. Amber & Clay uses artifacts and teachings as guides to its story. Some gods relate their impressions of these characters, with Hermes being an especially snarky narrator. He's a hoot! The Author's Notes are a must-read and also includes a Bibliography and Acknowledgements. Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers, Candlewick Press, and Laura Amy Schlitz for this ARC. ( ) jackiewark | Feb 26, 2021 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThingSUB2>.Told mostly from the perspectives of Raskos, a slave boy, and Melisto, a girl born in privilege, it’s the story of life in Ancient Greece. We also get to hear from a variety of gods (Hermes provides some comic relief) and the mothers of the children. There is so much to learn from this wonderful upper middle grade text and so much to like. I found it really accessible, even though my knowledge of the period is quite surface level. There’s a great discussion of class, gender, and ethnicities that is still relevant today. And author Laura Amy Schlitz wraps everything up with helpful historical notes and a good bibliography for further reading. Thank you to LibraryThing and Candlewick Press for providing this review copy. ( ) WritingMom | Feb 21, 2021 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
