Our view

As a series opener, “Green Rider” does its first job: it makes readers want the second book. Some of them single out the world as its attraction and are glad the heroine is not made to keep pointless secrets, though they find the description overdone and the switching between first names and surnames hard to follow. Others note how often she escapes death by a miracle.
