*This book is part of a series and I have not read the first book.*
Two young children who are able to pilot a giant metal knight, go to a different city and meet other children who are able to pilot a different giant metal knight.
My library didn't list this book as part of a series so I didn't read the first book. This book is not a book that you can do that with. A lot of the characters and events don't make much sense. I was able to slightly piece it together from what I read but it wasn't a great experience.
Regardless of that, the art was amazing. The history and lore of the world were extremely interesting and I would love to learn more about that. I thought that the characters were a little shallow and seemed to change without much development.
Overall, a cute read but definitely read the first book first.
