The future as described in The Starfish People and the character
development are what I found to be most clever and enthralling. I
became engrossed in the characters and their stories as they
related to Sera in her time travel. They seemed so real as did the
whole story! I found that I cared for and had emotions for these
characters! I read the book in one sitting and was captured from
the first chapter to the last line. The author, Leann Marshall, is a
master at taking the reader from his/her time and space to hers!
