Continuing my catch-up reviews. This book was fantastic! It took me a little while to get into it - I kept feeling like it was just a little too impressed with its own cleverness - but once the story hooked me, I really enjoyed it. A very original take on the “chosen one/fish out of water” genre. Some have complained about it having a heavy-handed message, but I just didn‘t see it — and I‘m highly averse to that sort of thing. Fun and engaging.

vivastory I really liked this one. I recently read Kraken. One of the wildest (& best) I've read all year. 6y
CSeydel @vivastory I‘ll check it out! This was my first Miéville, and I look forward to reading more of his. (edited) 6y

Finally finished my #CCA #ATB book from ... was it April? Not to mention my kids have been urging me to read it for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it more than I expected! It was fun to read and quite clever. It definitely reads like an opening book for a planned series rather than a stand alone, but that‘s not necessarily bad. As an adult, I found the plot twists predictable, but for middle grade readers I suspect it was just right.

GingerAntics Love this book (and series) SO much!!! 6y
