mikaylaslibrary's review against another edition
5.0
Set against the backdrop of the historic Pony Express that traveled from Missouri to California, The Nightland Express follows two teens as they race against time, magic and each other.
I loved this book, and I’ve already asked for a copy for Christmas. The dual POVs, the characters, the story and the setting are all woven together in such a neat way that it’s impossible to put down.
Jesse and Ben are such unique characters, and the diverse representation in this novel is very well written. There are queer, gender-queer, mixed and Indigenous characters that are added in so effortlessly that it really added to the story. The magical elements are also added in such a way that it makes the story very believable, and doesn’t slow or drag the story down.
There is the death of an animal on page, so be warned. Other than that, I loved this novel, and I can’t wait until it enters the world. Thank you to NetGalley, Erewhon Books, and the author for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
