A complexly layered and vivid story, traversing themes of family, trust, duty, hope, and the price of both safety and progress, this coming-of-age adventure quest is a must for the fantasy shelf.”— School Library Journal (starred review) I think I was expecting more of an overall adventure vibe, like a magical treasure hunt through unknown lands. That does happen ~eventually~, but you have to get almost two-thirds of the way into it before they leave the palace grounds. ( And even then, it wasn’t so much Indiana Jones as it was a drawn-out game of Cluefinders.) Up until then it’s a lot of sneaking around the palace, stealing things from one another, not trusting each other, and the like. Yet even after all that time spent alluding to the fact there was political discord, we hardly got to see any.
