A review by dreaj
Uki and the Outcasts by Kieran Larwood

4.0

Set in the world of Podkin One Ear, this takes the familiar characters of The Bard and his young apprentice, Rue on a new adventure, interlaced with a new story of another unlikely hero, Uki Patchwork and his outcast friends. Again, I loved the world-building and characters created by Kieran Larwood, with strong messages about finding your own tribe and the loyalty of friends. There is a real sense of peril as Uki's story leaches into a present day mystery being investigated by The Bard. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
