My son said, this book is a downer. He is right, but quite an immersive world.

I read this a while ago but I still like going back and rereading it. This is a children's series but there's some rather dark and disturbing material...which appeals to me, haha. It's a unique fantasy series with strong emotion.

This book didn't have much of a plot. The main character,Twig just ping pongs from one disaster to the next. My loyal love of the illustrator, [a:Chris Riddell|59749|Chris Riddell|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1276920548p2/59749.jpg] requires me to try the next one anyway.

My 24th book finished in 2023.

I read this on my Caribbean cruise, between stops in Belize, Mexico and Florida. I left it in a hostel in Miami Beach.

First time I've read this since I was about 10 years old. It has good world building, and was easy enough to read. 

It annoyed me throughout that Twig kept mysteriously escaping from dire situations. The climax at the end was disappointing and frustrating.

I'd be interes ed in digging out the other books in the series from the loft.
