The time the story took place was a little under a generation long after the medical discovery.]]> 2018-06-13 01:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/yolanda_li/the_winnowing/wish/266930598 My Opinion yolanda_li https://padlet.com/yolanda_li/the_winnowing/wish/266930834 I quite enjoyed reading “The Winnowing” since I am a fan of fantasy and supernatural. The book is an amazing story with many mysteries that needed to be solved. The story had many interesting plots and ideas that were very original.  My favourite moment was when more information about the disease and the medical discovery appeared. One of the parts I didn’t like as much has to be the ending. It wasn’t what I expected and wasn’t as clear as I would have liked it. It was also a little boring, but still good.]]> 2018-06-13 01:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/yolanda_li/the_winnowing/wish/266930834
