The Cracks in the Kingdom by Jaclyn Moriarty
5.0
This book just made an "EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus" reference. It made my day. This is clearly the best book ever.
Really excellent - the problems I had with the first book (the encyclopedia entries and slow pacing) were resolved - and this is the rare middle book that's better than the first. The book moves along at a clip, it's a bit overlong at times but the delicious details and elaborate worldbuilding don't feel excessive, just delightful. This is the best kind of fantasy - quirky, complicated, and both heartrending and hilarious.
