I had read the
first book in this series, The Atomic Circus, quite a long time ago, but I do
remember that I enjoyed it quite a bit. So when I found this book on my kindle,
I quickly started it and couldn’t put it down until I was done with the story.
Once again, I really
enjoyed the world that Ms. Finn was able to create in this book. The attention
to detail was done in just the right amount; I didn’t feel as though I was given
too much information, but just the right amount. I’m still left wondering what the
deal is with the fog, but I have a feeling that’s a mystery that I’m not going
to have solved just yet. I believe by Ms. Finn adding that element to the story
it adds something more to the book, it makes it so you want to keep reading to
find out what exactly was going on in the world.
The characters I
believe were really well done as well. Even the secondary characters were
described in ways that made them stand out from each other. Once again, Ms.
Finn does an amazing job giving the details but not going overboard. The
different characters all seem to play off of each other quite well throughout
everything that was happening.
My main complaint
would be that the twist that happens at the end? I kinda had a feeling that was
what it was. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t distract me from the story at all,
but I suppose I was just hoping for more of a shocker.
Overall though, I
did still enjoy the book and I can’t wait to start the next one in the series!
Thank you so much for the review! <3
