I had a fantastic time with this book. Wonderful and compelling illustrations, interesting tangents, an unlikely adventurer, a story within a story, so many parts that worked for me.

I must say there were certain aspects of the story towards the end that didn't work quite as well for me

regarding wormholes and the likes,

and there certainly language and attitutes that haven't aged well (racist and ableist remarks). Overall I really did enjoy the book though.
