The characters and setting are fantastic. The world of Abarat is like nothing else I’ve ever read. But judging the story of this book separately from the rest of the series I think it’s pretty predictable and it just ENDS without any major character development or any questions being answered.  You also don’t get to explore many of the Islands but I’m guessing you get to see the rest in the other books. Any a very enjoys whimsical read, despite its flaws!
