Real locations and possibly real history

My absolute favorite aspect of this book is that all the locations mentioned appear to be real places. A quick internet search pulls up pictures of beautiful Lake Oswego, deep Loch Morar, and even the hunting lodge Swordlands.

As for the rest of the story, if you liked the first book, The Lake Lights, you'll probably love this one. More inventions, more strange creatures, more villainy, and more excitement over history and science.

For me, I appreciated some maturing in the characters' relationships with each other and the one way Christ really seemed to impact them--forgiveness. Otherwise, I still felt frustrated by the (to me) oversimplification of characters and relationships, especially the mom, who seemed to be emotions and nothing else. A new character and relationship is introduced, which almost takes over the whole story. This would be fine, except I felt it was based purely on appearances and fluttery feelings, so it made me more uncomfortable than delighted. Except for this minor drawback, I would recommend the book to its intended audience of pre-teens.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are my own.
