Reseña de Centaur Rising en La Nave Invisible. ( )

Interesting premise, but not as satisfying as most of Yolen's other works. It feels like there's not enough action and too much talk (both narration and just conversational scenes in which not much appears to happen); the balance of the fantasy elements and the more prosaic family plotlines doesn't seem quite right either. The characters also seem less developed than usual, as if they're on a strict schedule for getting from Point A to Point B. It was fun seeing another take on centaurs, though I prefer Rick Riordan's take on Chiron. ( )
