Add a CommentI don't get it. This series is incredible. I started to read to my children then had to keep going on my own...faster. Rosamund...a boy is such a good character innocent and brave, his nature endears him to other strong characters though not so "good". There are three books in the series and this library has two books and one audio. The story line takes place in what is very similar to 19th century per industrial England, however, clothes and monsters are not so English. A truly enjoyable series and I really really wish it went on, and on, and on...
I found this book super enjoyable, but decided not to read the second in hopes of pursing novels more 'my style'.
very intresting for a first book. i liked the concepts of this new world he sets his story in. this book is trilogy, first was the best second was okay and i did not like the third. this book by far was the best book in the trilogy
Excellent Book although the words used might be confusing to some, there is always the appendix in the back.
This is the first book in a delightful trilogy - very creative! The other reviewer is correct: it is not a horror book ... it actually reminds me of The Lord of the Rings, but much shorter. It's on the Young Adult shelves, but anyone from middle school up who likes fantasy will enjoy the book. The author is actually a graphic artist, and his illustrations are an extra treat. But be careful when reading the appendix (called an "Explicarium") as it contains spoilers for the whole series. Highly recommended!
A must read. Very original, very interesting. From the title you might think it's a scary book, but it's not that at all. It's an adventure book, and boy does it deliver.
