3.5

I never read these as a child and I left the target demographic behind a while ago, so I know that’s likely to impact my judgement and I’m trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Largely I would say the book is definitely better than fine, but I feel hesitant to say good. The characters are great and the setting is fun, but the story feels somehow both too slow and jarringly short. It felt like I was told I would be getting an epic adventure of myth and legend, but all I got was a one day trip to a decent amusement park.
