Review of 'Misty of Chincoteague' on 'Goodreads'

4 estrellas

Call this more of a 3.5. The writing itself is gorgeous, and the setting described beautifully. I do think it’s a little disappointing that the book is more about the Phantom than Misty herself, but that’s what sequels are for, I suppose.

This is also a book from the 40’s with some of the social attitudes of the time coating it over in an unseemly film of grease. I’m not a big fan of how Maureen gets continually shoved to the side, and the whole practice of pony penning is a whole other ethical can of worms I’d rather not get into here.

But like, for what it is, it’s fun.
