A delightful read! Both books in this series have given me the same feeling that reading The Chronicles of Narnia for the first time gave me, decades ago, which is the highest compliment I can think to give. Wonderful character development and quick, but even, pacing. I love how interconnected everything is: each individual’s story, the Archipelago, the Outerlands, all of the different creatures. The story is so carefully crafted and that care comes shining through every sentence. Highly recommend, for both kids and adults!
