A review by lillanaa
The Sunken Tower by Tait Howard
4.0
This book was received as an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so cute! I love the art and the story, but could've done with a little less of the tropiness. I get that it's a kids book, but it felt a little lower age range than what it was advertised at. The casual inclusion of LGBT characters was a welcome change, it didn't feel forced or out of nowhere, and I enjoyed that aspect of things. I'd put this book closer to an 8-9 year old, rather than a 12-13 year old, though, just because it read very simply and had that kind of atmosphere to it.
Overall, enjoyed it a lot but not one I'd recommend to older readers, definitely felt like a kids book.
