Average rating3.8
I picked up this book expecting just a fun ya adventure to relax during lots of assignments, but I was delightfully surprised. The world was intriguing and dangled in front of me quite excitingly, with little exposition. I was also quite surprised by Albert - he was quite odd in an endearing way that I didn't expect.
The adventures and action scenes were fun, and there was a particular one near the end that was so intense and creepy that I realised afterwards how much I had tensed up reading it. That doesn't happen very often for me.
Some of the descriptions were lovely and creative, but I found a couple of settings quite difficult to picture (mostly the ones near the end, though they were very unique).
There were a few moments of dialogue that felt weird, and a bit of unnecessary and stilting monologues near the end, but overall, a wonderful read if you want something fun.
It felt great on its own, but if I come across the sequel, I'll definitely give it a read.
