A review by charlienobbins
The Stolen Prince of Cloudburst by Jaclyn Moriarty

5.0

My first journey into the Kingdoms and Empires world and it won't be my last. I really had a hard time at first with the structure of the story, with the short sharp chapters and the call outs to the readers. It all felt too frenetic, over reaching but I am glad I persisted because the last three quarters of the book is magical and wraps everything up beautifully. One of the main strengths is the characters in the story, each very distinct and fully formed.

Australian YA literature is amongst the best in the world and this is a leading example.
