What I read in June
Divergent
by Veronica Roth
Well maybe 4.5. More comments later.
Shadows of the Workhouse
by Jennifer Worth

The Freedom Maze
by Delia Sherman
Maybe 4.5 Stars. This was an excellent story. The historical research was impressive and the fantasy time travel believable. It's a story that leaves a lot to think about -- a sign of a good writer.
