I couldn't get on with the writing style at all and the first few chapters just didn't draw me in enough to make me persevere in finishing the book. Probably more to do with my preference rather than anything intrinsically wrong with the story itself

A beautiful story of four girls determined to make their difference in the world and save it from the forces of pollution and destruction! The story weaving is incredible and the characters connection to Mother Earth is inspiring.

This was ok. First off, that title reeled me in and the cover is amazing. The title is actually related to the book. It focuses on Maia, Falcon, Yue and Ava who are powered by the four elements and have received messages from dream catchers. They are trying to find a stolen piece of the crystal horseshoe.
The concept is unique and has an important lesson about caring for the environment. This really isn't a book I would read. However, The different POVs were very jarring and the end of each one was an abrupt end. I did struggle through some parts of this book and it is definitely not a book where you don't have to focus too much. I found myself having to focus a lot and even then still getting confused. I struggled to be emotionally invested and connected with these girls as well as the story. I had felt connected to the story at the start but it fell through. It was hard to tell which girl was telling the POV and I didn't really care since they felt two dimensional and unreal.
I did however like how native American culture was touched upon as well as the environment.

A timely & wonderful tribute to our Earth, #BarbaraNewman’s #debutnovel is a call to all to do what we can to save it. I hope this fantasy book will be embraced, especially by young adults to get behind doing what can be done for Mother Earth, so they have one that will live on for generations.
