This book is a great example of world building. First of all, I love books with maps of the world, but this one is so detailed and so different that it begs for explanations. What IS that long straight river at the top of the map?
Secondly, the Explicarium. How do you describe a major section of the book that introduces an entire world of nomenclature, objects, people, places, and ideas? Fascinating.
Finally, there is the story itself, which is perhaps the weak point. It is a good story, but it isn't as strong as the world building. And it wasn't strong enough for the only teen that I know who has read the book. He didn't care for it. Sigh.
