As far as a middle school fiction goes, this was really good!! It was relatable, and it was a good book for just kicking back and relaxing. It was very funny, especially when Keefe comes in. I love how diverse the characters are personality-wise, and how accurately Messenger can grow the characters throughout the series. She's very good at waiting until the last possible second to reveal a big twist, and then leave us on a cliffhanger. Stellarlune's is the worst as of yet. Overall a really great read, as is the rest of the series!

There is a kidnapping, and while they are kidnapped, they are tortured. There are also very distinct elitist tropes, as there being the nobles and the working class. Cities being terrorized by fire is mentioned quite a bit.

One of my childhood favorites. While it is really enjoyable, it doesn´t hold up as well. Would still recommend it, especially if you are under the age of 15.
