review 1: I received a copy of this beautiful book in the mail that has swirls, fancy letters and silver on the edge of the pages. It made me more eager to start reading. In the beginning, I thought there were too many descriptions and adverbs to keep me entertained. But as I kept reading, there were lots of interesting things described in this science fiction world I would have loved to see a picture of. Too bad they didn’t hire an illustrator to add some artwork to the story.I liked the idea that everything seemed fine at first, but that a war was lurking underneath. There is always something going on, even if it doesn’t look that way. Steampunk is a genre that might be considered close to this one, so if you’re into science and technology, that would be interesting, just to... more see new inventions and fantasy based combinations of what we have on earth. Although the main characters aren’t very likeable at first, they develop over time and start seeing each other’s qualities. I think that marks a good novel: The characters don’t stay the same. I also thought their relationship with their parents was interesting... not going to spoil much about that.I am usually not a big fantasy action book reader, but when there are themes involved like taking advantage, societal changes, extermination, and the use of resources, it could make the reader think and have a better look at these realities that are just as much part of this world. The book may, in that sense, enhance one’s morals.
review 2: WOW! This book hurls its readers down a completely new rabbit hole, into a strange and thrilling universe only a pair of animators could've dreamed of! When you learn the first-time authors are both seasoned animators, it makes all the more sense how boldly cinematic, and vividly stylized this work is. I found myself anxious to see how these wonderfully developed characters and insanely imaginative worlds would leap off the big screen. I would be VERY surprised if this book (apparently only the 1st of a trilogy!) didn't become the next big blockbuster franchise coming soon to a theater near you!!! less
