A review by andramaciuca
The Sunken Tower by Tait Howard

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun adventure for children. Both girls and boys will love this, due to powerful characters of both genders that children can relate to and look up to. The book is beautifully illustrated, in a quite simple but detailed art style, colourful, and reminiscent of cartoons. I loved also the LGBTQ+ relationship presented in a very normal way. The couple was cute and loving, yet totally badass at the same time and I live for this kind of representation of women. Although relatively short, the book was action-packed, from the very first pages I was hooked and on the edge of my seat, impatiently reading as fast as possible to see what happens next. The character design and scenery details were super cool as well, very fascinating and visually pleasing. Moreover, it was really funny and it made me laugh out loud a few times, grabbing the attention of the people around me who were curious as to what I was reading. I would definitely recommend this to others, and I am excited to read more about these characters and their adventures in the future. I would love to see more volumes , I think the world is truly magical has a lot of potential for a lot of different plot turns and character development. With that being said, this could also be a stand-alone, as the ending is satisfying in itself. Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for granting me permission to read this advanced readers copy of the book as a PDF in exchange for my honest review.
