North! or Be Eaten

Yes, the story is engaging and exciting. Yes, Andrew Peterson's writing is excellent. Yes, the humor is super fun and adds to the storyline without compromising the suspense. Yes, the world is fascinating with hilariously varied creatures. There's so much to love.

But it's the characters that make this series spectacular. I love each individual character, the family dynamics, and many wonderful side characters.

I loved book one and now book two. And I'll immediately read book three. I highly recommend this series.
