Middle Grade Fantasy, 2023 by Alexis Kossiakoff & Scott Crawford, 206 pages
What I Didn’t Like:
- In the beginning it felt a little slow starting, it did even out quickly and then the pacing seemed on point, but it took a few chapters to really get moving.
What I Did Like:
- The accuracy of the timeline that was used in both Chinese history and Russian history. The authors did a fantastic job of really making sure that they infused as much detail as possible while still keeping in mind their intended audience.
- This is so well written, the language is right on point with the age of our main characters. It also was so well thought out and it progressed so nicely. There were thrills and suspense along the way. Overall it came together for one amazing story that will keep you up at night in a hurry to see what happens.
- Speaking of the end…Right when you have finished this amazing read you turn the page and get 4 appendixes. This for me was above and beyond and it really pushed me to begin looking into what books I can read next for chinese and russian mythology.
Who Should Read This One:
- I would gladly and excitedly recommend this to anyone in the middle grade to young adult audience who wants fantasy.
My Rating: solid 4 stars
