A light and fun adventure awaits us inside this book. Ben Tripp doles out a take full of magic and wrongful accusations and good guys framed for bad stuff and good guys who really are bad guys and altogether everyone struggles with just doing the best they can. The pages fly by. Fun for a day at the beach, a rainy day on the couch, or consumed in little bits over time.
I'd recommend this for kids & grown ups who like fantasy or adventure.
I want to love this book. It has everything that I typically like to read: an adventure, fantastical creatures, a historical setting, and yet, I'm on my second try of trying to read it, but I just can't. I lose interest despite the pretty artwork and themes I usually enjoy.
DNF at 20%, for good this time. I don't think I'll try to read it a 3rd time.
