Really cute read - Iām a big fan of the movie so it was nice to be in the universe of it again. The characters made me smile a bunch and the novelty factor of the retrofuturistic setting was very high. I love how this world is built on and woven with so much Disney parks history and I really enjoyed all the little references to that throughout :) I feel I could apply many of my same critiques of the movie Tomorrowland to this book though. The plot/characters often got bogged down by too many action scenes, and I was also disappointed by the surprisingly small amount of information or lore about Tomorrowland itself. Just like the movie, only a very brief amount of time is actually spent there. The book does a great job of building the suspense and intrigue of this other world - even mentioning that it has different physics, wildlife, and natural resources than Earth - but this is never expanded on and we end the book only getting a glimpse of what it has to offer. Also I have to mention that the amount of typos in this book was a little egregious lmao š I think overall the scope of the story was perhaps a bit ambitious, but I still had a great time with it and thought the writing style was cheeky, accessible, and enjoyable while also not feeling too juvenile.
