I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion. For adult readers, I’m not so sure.įTC Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. This wasn’t a bad book, just not a memorable one for me.įor young readers who enjoy high flying adventures with a touch of danger, this is a book they’ll love. Lily was the basic version of every young heroine I’ve followed on an adventure, and all of the things that happened to her felt similar to other books I’ve read as well. As an adult reader though, this book just didn’t hold the magic that I really wanted it to. As I mentioned above, the plot moves quickly and the characters are rather fun.

Now, do I think that young readers would like this book? Probably! The story has plenty of twists and turns and Lily’s group is plucky to a fault. It’s a little cookie cutter, and that made it a rough read for me. I found myself thinking about many other books that this story is similar to, that do things just a little bit better. While the story moves quickly, and the plot stays on track, there’s not a lot of depth here. However, I soon found that this book had a few flaws. The idea of Lily living in a place that was populated with dirigibles and mechanical people just stole my heart. I always have high hopes for all the MG books that I read, and this was no exception.Īt first, I was enchanted with the idea of a steampunk story for young readers. Even better, there’s something lovely about watching a young person conquer an unimaginable adventure. There’s something beautiful about a tough topic dealt with in a way that is consumable by young readers. Selecciona el departamento que quieras buscar.
