A review by elementarymydear
Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick
3.0
As always with Marcus Sedgwick, the writing was beautiful, eerie and captivating, with a story to match. The premise, the plot, the characters; I love them all.
The thing that let it down was the pacing. It wasn't long enough - partly just because I always want to read more Sedgwick, but also because the story deserved a proper novel rather than short story, even if it's for children. While all the key moments were brilliant, it was the bits in between that felt rushed, pushing forwards to the next bit of action.
