4.0
So, let me preface this by saying, Do not judge this book by it's cover. I'm serious. Whilst the cover may lend you the idea that this book is targeted towards higher elementary to lower middle schoolers, it isn't.
But otherwise, this book blew past my expectations.
From a narrative standpoint, this book handles the flow of the story pretty well. It's pretty fast-paced but it also manages to tie up most of it's plot points.
From a world building standpoint, this book does this extraordinarily well.
The interspersion of Latin and Greek words did add quite a bit to the story and it did bring joy to the geeky part of me. However, Using Earth as a planet name of a planet that cannonicaly is nothing like our planet Earth does betray a slight lack of creativity in naming the planet. However, this is personal and admittedly minor gripe.
The Characters are well written and are incredibly lovable.
All-in-all, this book is pretty great and it it did almost bring me to tears
Suffice to say, I will be awaiting a sequel for this series.
