it was ok
bookshelves: 2-stars, disappointing, urban-fantasy, year-2020, series-im-not-going-to-finish

For a book aimed at children there weren't barely any in this story. The novel was about a bunch of adults, doing adult stuff and a kid wanting to have his revenge on them. And his djinni making almost all the work.

I was hoping to find the greatness that I found in Stroud's other series, Lockwood and co. And the truth is, I didn't find it and I'm disappointed.

....Anyways, please go and readThe Screaming Staircase.

nuin giliath Good point about there being so few children present in a book meant for them.

"....Anyways, please go and read The Screaming Staircase."
YES, PLEASE.

Twila Oh no, I was looking forward to this! I LOVE Lockwood and Co 😭😭


majo @Nuin My feelings for Lockwood have never been stronger


majo @Twila I've seen lots of people who love this book and this series, so maybe I have an unpopular opinion, I'm not sure. Lockwood remains superior.
