The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
3.0

A fun, kid friendly, time traveling romp.

This is the first book I've ever gotten without knowing anything about it. I just knew that Jim Dale was the narrator and I loved his narration of the Harry Potter books so I decided to go in blind. I'm weird and enjoy doing that every once in a while.

While it was definitely a fun book to read and the narration was top notch, as expected, it still felt a little lacking. The characters were good enough, but not great. The bad guy was good enough, but not great (although I think book to has potential to fix that). I will say that the dwarves were definitely a stand out joy for me though.

The 3 books of beginning and what they can do is a stellar concept though and I enjoyed how they introduced us to the Emerald Atlas. The time travelling through pictures taken. And the growth of the power as the book continues.

The series has a ton of potential and I'm definitely gonna read the next book. I'm just gonna wait for when I'm ready for a little more easy listening as this was very easy to get through.
