The Real by Masha du Toit
5.0
Even after reading, I'm still thinking about the world from this series and where things will go next. This book picks up on Elke's adventures and again manages to ratchet up the stakes--though I have a feeling the next one is really going to be one hell of a ride.
From technologically enhanced dogs to young kids exploring their world, this book offers a range of POVs and yet they all feel spot on. You never feel lost between head hopping. Details and perceptions change and you get the story from multiple angles. It's a great balance that kept me counting minutes until I could get back to the book and read some more.
With the dynamic languages, distinct cultures and strong personalities, the world established in the first book really comes alive in this second installment. It's just different enough to be whimsical but familiar enough that you can make pictures in your head. Can't wait to see what's in store for Elke next!
