I found I had a little bit of a difficult time getting into this book. It definitely started off a little slow, but once it picked up, WOW. I loved the world that the author created, and the illustrations were fantastic. So much emotion was evoked in me when reading this, which in my books is the telltale sign of a fantastic story. Definitely will be recommending this one.

This sprawling science fiction adventure starts off a little slow, but manages to pick up the pace and establish its colorful cast of characters just in time. At its heart, it's a story about friendship and family and love and loyalty, and it is pretty much unputdownable. I am going to be pushing it at friends *hard* come its publication date.
