Title: Good--continuity problems keep it from being great
Review: This is a very good read, and Mr. Patterson definitely keeps the reader engaged in the story from the first page. You quickly come to care about the human/avian children, and their fates. My only quibble with the book (keeping it from a five-star rating) is the lack of continuity between it and 'Lake House'. Going under the assumption that 'Max' here is the same young lady as in the previous two bird books, there is no explanation of what went on during the intervening four or so years, nor what happened to some major characters. On top of that, some of her backstory has changed. Please don't get me wrong--it's a good book and I'll be eagerly awaiting the sequel. However, a cleaner tie-in to the previous works would have made it even better.
