It was great but be warned they don’t have part two on here. I think the age would be more for children than teens. Maybe pre-teens? I’m almost 40 and thought it was a great story though. The narrator is British. I know it’s hard for some people to understand different accents

ngl this feels like a Final Fantasy 7 fanfic just with aristocrats sitting on the disc above the city instead of people working for Shinra. Add to that several scenes that threw me out of the story because "THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS!" like a traincar derailing because it got decoupled from the engine instead of just...slowing down...like it would because the engine isn't what keeps a train on the track and I can't really say I am impressed. The romance also was so predictable and bog standard that it didn't really do much for me either.I wanted to like this book but it just isn't there.It's not trash but I have read way better.

Painfully slow

Decently written, character development average, some nice plot twists that are obvious but at the same time didn't see coming when introduced in the story line, narration was average. Probably will not seek out the sequel but not upset that I was able to hear this story.

Like a K-Drama in a fantasy world. I loved it

This was a magical YA Fantasy with a really interesting mythos. I liked both main characters, but I do hope that they have more character development in book two. The ending was pretty predictable, but the writing and narration were good enough to make the ride enjoyable!

I loved the author’s completely enchanting romantic fairy tale-adventure, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, so much that I am on the lookout for all her works. This title did not feel as instantly magical to me, and is indeed a bit on the very young side of maybe-YA, not for its story but for the simplified narrative style. Still, I found the main characters lovely and the premise interesting; a classic fantasy-fairy tale framework with resourceful young heroes who discover their various strengths while fleeing, and then facing, their nemesis. If this is the beginning of a series, I’m on board for the next adventure.

the book just felt like tropes and didn't ever click for me

I fell head first into this world. I loved the story building and the character arcs.
