Every bit as good as the first book in the series, Wundersmith is an immersive, enchanting reading experience that is very much worthy of being pressed into the hands of children as an alternate option to Harry Potter.
This one moves along at a brisk clip, but atmosphere and world building never suffers. I love how Townsend weaves in exploration of themes such as otherness, found family and privilege, in an organic way. There’s attention paid to EVERYTHING - character development, sense of place, the magical elements, big ideas - which leaves the reader feeling so satisfied. And eager for book 3!
