Actually I think I was hooked from the moment I read the back of the book and the acknowledgements at the beginning and the story did not disappoint. In fact I was so hooked that I finished this story in less than a day and after reading some during my lunch break, seriously thought about not going back to work and finishing the story there and then instead. Read the rest of my review at : http://sapphireddragon.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-thyla-by-kate-gordon.html I loved the beginning of this book, and it saddens me that I have to give it a two. The writing style drew me in- the unusual narration, the mystery, the raw emotion. I think the ideas behind the story had alot of potential. But in the end the supernatural elements and the action fell flat. Everything happened in a rush at the end, explanations were missing, the action wasn't even interesting, the characters were left underdeveloped, the enemy was too mysterious and one dimensional. Overall, I praise the writing style and inspiration of the author, but feel her general fantasy/world building skills to be a bit lacking. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A thrilling paranormal tale of shapeshifting, a centuries-old war, and finding out who you really are when your memories betray you My name is Tessa. I am strong. I am brave. I do not cry. These are the only things I know for certain. I was found in the outback, ragged as a wild thing. I have no memory—not even of how I got the long slashes across my back. They make me frightened of what I might remember. The policewoman, Connolly, found me and placed me in a boarding school and told me about her daughter, Cat, who went missing in the outback. I think there is a connection between Cat, me, and the strange things going on at this school. If I can learn Cat's story, I might discover my own—and stop it happening again.

The world has changed, what Tessa remembers does not match what is before her. How is it she is able to remember names and dates from the past but nothing from the present? But it is more then just facts she is remembering, it is memories of a life lived long ago. But what has any of that to do with where she came from and how she came to be alone in the bush with such injuries?
Thyla is about a girl desperate to remember who she is, but the more she remembers the harder she is finding it to not believe she is crazy. On the surface this is a mystery filled with lost memories, dark secrets, heartbreak and loss; a tale of Tasmania's unique fauna, Australia's convict history and the supernatural. But at its core this is the story of Tessa, a girl who is discovering her identity, forming friendships and falling in love. Definitely one to read. ( )
