Quest to the Uncharted Land was such a great book, I love it so much! From the great family bond, as they did not fight, to the gift of acceptance. Also, the fact that home isn't necessarily a specific place, but where the people that care about you are. Jaleigh Johnson is an awesome author and in this, her third book, I found myself enjoying it just as much as with the first two books. I know that this is the last book in the Solace series (2024), though I truly hope one day she will write another book or two if we are all very lucky, and we can go to the curious land of Solace again.
I recommend the Solace series to people that like strong independent main characters, who love trips to find unseen things and mysterious lands and who like stories that make them think. I'm happy we have them in our home library. Thank you Jaleigh Johnson. I really hope one day we can go back to Solace with you.
*Credit to my husband for finding this series, he always find the best books -smile-
Other notes:
*The books are also beautiful, especially the hard cover books (under the dust jacket), which are some of our family favorite covers.
*I recommended this series to our public library. They acquired all three books so hopefully others can enjoy this great series.
*Comfortable read, good for dyslexic readers (from the point of veiw of an adult with dyslexia)

This has been my second time fully rereading this book, and I still love it deeply. The book has its imperfections in dialogue and plot, but it has so much heart that it undeniably earns a five star review for me. Stella is such a sweet main character, and the cast along with her is lovable and fun. The pacing remains engaging throughout the story with only a few lulls, and a few moments of actions genuinely surprised and worried me in the best of ways! I love the World of Solace books, and this novel most definitely holds a special place in my heart!

The last of a three book collection of stories set in Solace, The Quest to the Uncharted Lands is a fun story about Stella Glass stowing away on an airship to be near her parents and to explore the uncharted lands across the mountains. She doesn't realize that she isn't the only stowaway aboard the Iron Glory, and what unfolds is a tale of adventure, friendship, mystery, loyalty, and independence in the young.
This is a steampunk fantasy written for a middle-grade audience. All of the books are clean. Of all three, this has to be my favourite.

In this third book taking place in the world of Solace, the Iron War between the Dragonfly Territories and the Kingdom of Merrow is finally over. The people are now working together on the first air ship that will take them to the Uncharted Lands. Stella's parents are both healers who are asked to accompany the party on their mission. Fearing that she may never see them again, Stella (an accomplished alchemist in her right) stows away on board. She is surprised to find Cyrus, another stowaway, with special powers of his own. They form an uneasy friendship until they discover that someone is sabotaging the ship. Their friendship grows stronger as the danger grows greater. Can they find the saboteur before he ends the mission? The lives of everyone on board are in their hands. An exciting adventure! It is not necessary to have read the other two, but it helps. Recommended for grades 4 & up.

Pretty good on its own, but I can't help comparing to Mark of the Dragonfly which was amazeballs.

This book was interesting. Overall the series was good. Alas the characters and locations are all different, to be honest I loved the Mark of the Dragonfly book the best, the characters I liked more than the others. So I actually was dreading reading this book, and the beginning was slow, but I'm glad I stuck through because the ending is really good. Of all things the only way these books are related is the world they live in, and they're all romance stories over time. Which don't get me wrong is really cute but a bit repetitive. I'm glad I read the series though, and I do think that the world is very interesting and the stories was well written, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
