Foundling
by D.M. Cornish
3.5 stars. This book is about Rossamund. An foundling or orphan who finally gets to leave the orphanage because he got a job as a lamplighter. His journey to start his new job is supposed to be easy, but turns into something more when he gets tricked onto the wrong ship. From there his adventure really starts.
I wanted to like this book more, but I often found it boring in a lot of places. Rossamund seemed a bit too complacent to just let things happen around him rather that speak his mind. My favorite character was Europe. She was very interesting and her personality complex. I would rather have her as the main character. The world was interesting with the constant battle between the monsters and humans, but we didn't really get to see much of that. I will probably read the second book in the series in the hopes that Rossamund will grow more as a character.
