[5 Stars] Re-Read 2015
I adore this series so much, and this one along with Stormchaser may be my favorites of the bunch! I adore how whimsical, dark, beautiful, and haunting this series is. I also think the series has one of the most unique worlds ever! I love it! I particularly enjoyed the way this book subtly discusses mankind's tendency and wish to play god for lack of better word. I think the way it discusses science's capabilities and drawbacks and moral code in such an interesting way. I also love how we see Maris and Quint's friendship develop. If you want a darker middle grade fantasy book then definitely consider giving this series a try!
