4.0

This book was read aloud to me for the first time by my fourth grade teacher. While this book is more of a YA/Adult easy read than a book for kids/middle grade, I fell in love with this book then and I've read it a handful of times since. It's still on my wishlist. It's a fast paced adventure story that does an excellent job at both worldbuilding and characterization. Pacing and writing are great and honestly, this is the kind of thing an aspiring writer should read. It's a balanced, quick, easy read that makes you feel like you're on an adventure with the characters. Highly recommend.
