I think Shusterman has created something genuinely brilliant, with characters you really root for, a plot that keeps you engaging and magnificent, thoughtful world building.
I honestly absolutely LOVED my time with these books and the audio narration my Tremblay was fantastic throughout!

rangerwing75's review against another edition
I genuinely tried to enjoy this book. It was fun at first, but it quickly grew tiresome. It’s a long book - longer than it needs to be with all of its paragraphs and chapters focusing on unimportant characters. We didn’t need an entire chapter dedicated to the woes of a random painter we never see again. I’d put the book down and almost dread picking it back up.
It’s long, it’s slow, and the story isn’t engaging enough to make me not care about those things. This isn’t like in Journey to the West where at least the story is funny even if the chapters are packed with poetry. A disappointing end to what was looking to be an amazing trilogy.
