A review by stormywolf
Airborn by Kenneth Oppel
5.0
A very fun read. Taking place in an alternate reality where blimp-like airships rule the skies instead of airplanes, it read much like a high-seas adventure with pirates, shipwrecks, and dangerous island encounters. I'd call it steampunk, but besides a different form of air transportation, there wasn't anything steamy or punkish about it. If anything, it reminded me most of Airman by Eoin Colfer mixed with Treasure Island.

According to Goodreads, this is the first in a series. It didn't read like that at all. I could happily walk away from this book now, having gained a satisfying conclusion. But I'm sure I'll return to Matt's escapades sooner or later, after all, there's so much more of this world to explore!
