I recently finished this book for a class assignment. Within the first five chapters, I knew it would be an extraordinary book, and would easily be one of favorite books of all time.
The beginning was very descriptive without being rude, and utterly thought provoking. I very much enjoyed the subtle diversity in the dialect.
After a few chapters, the storyline strayed away from Liga, and went into more depth about her daughters and the Bears. I was slightly disappointed in the way that it did suddenly dropped her, however. Being only sixteen, I found the beastiality-like relationship between Second-Bear and Branza to be very intriguing.
On the last paragraph of the entire book, I was puzzled when I turned the page and found no other text. I was hungry, captivated, and I wanted more. I wanted to know what happened to all of the characters. The ending was too sudden.
In the end, I found Tender Morsels to be a very exquisite book. I wouldn’t recommend it to the average teenage reader, but I certainly enjoyed it and I plan to purchase Tender Morsels so I can re-read it at any time, :)
