This was a wonderful read, it could have been longer but we loved it.

One of my favorite books and, after rereading it for the first time in something over a decade, I'm happy to find that it still holds up.

A thousand years ago, the world was broken in a great cataclysm; now people live on the fragments, flying between them in ships made of the skin & bone of dragons....

I liked this book less than its prequel. (view spoiler)[It feels that anyone the main character meets on his way tends to be someone important for his mission, one way or another; even the ten-years ago deposed heiress to the land, hidden away in an obscure village lost in the biggest forest of the continent......

Honestly, I just couldn't continue with this. The story is only so-so, and the author tries way too hard to be cute and clever. The artwork is beautiful, but it is not enough to keep my 6yo and I interested. The 8yo, however, thinks this book is brilliant, so apparently the humor speaks to his little heart.......

I'd read this one before, but it was a LONG time ago and I'd forgotten most of the plot. It's the (3rd?) in a series. The first in the series was pretty good, the rest were so-so. There's some humor in the books. Fantasy, set in modern times. Seems there there are "little people" that immigrated to America...

Why is it so easy to put down (for three months) a book I'm nearly halfway through? Because it's not on the Kindle.
