I received a free audiobook from NetGalley and Cinnabar Moth Publishing LLC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
Tuesday and Zed are two "normal" siblings trying to navigate life with some not-so-normal parents, that is until their parents leave for a "business trip" and they are chased into a whole new dimension by soldiers who plan to kidnap them. Along with their "dog" Nix, they embark on a life-changing adventure.
This is a charming middle-grade read, I enjoyed it as an adult and I would have absolutely devoured it when I was younger. Falinnheim is a fantastical world that reminded me of Narnia with the addition of some sci-fi/tech elements that would resonate with today's youth. The story is fast-paced, and the resolution is satisfying while still leaving the doors open for more stories that I look forward to picking up in the future. For now, I'll be dreaming of Falinnheim and recommending this book to any middle-grade fantasy reader that I know.
