The Curse of the Gloamglozer by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell

suedweiser's review against another edition

4.0

Wunderschönes Worldbuilding mit vielen fantastischen Kreaturen und einem Steampunk-Setting. Das alles aber sehr originell in einem eigenen Kosmos mit seinen eigenen physikalischen Gesetzen.

Charaktertiefe, Charakterentwicklung und zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen könnten meiner Meinung nach deutlich ausführlicher gestaltet werden.

This was ever-so-close to being a five-star rating. The world of the Edge is one of the most bizarre and inventive ones out there, but it still maintains believability by being well-thought out and consistent with its own rules. The story is good but not mindblowingly so, but any minor complaints there are outweighed by how much I liked the characters and the pure imagination of the world.

Such an inventive series! I wish I read more of these books when I was a kid. I had a great time revisiting this story! There are elements of mystery, action, and friendship. Fantastic read :)

Eerie and now that I think about it probably owes a lot to Frankenstein. Possibly the most science fiction-y of all the Edge Chronicles books.

I didn't really like the characters in this one (every's a bit too risk loving for my taste), but the setting and plot made it (re)readable anyway.

Captivating plot, marvelous illustration by one of my favorite illustrators, well developed characters and a fascinating world that I have only begun exploring. Can't wait to read the sequels.
