Another great installment in the series! The world-building is extended to the first book with even more likable (and unlikable) creatures. I really love the Steampunk elements, and the whole "Sky Pirate"-thing reminded me a bit to "Treasure Planet", which is one of my favorite childhood movies. I also felt very much for the protagonist Twig in this novel. His inner thoughts about the question where he belongs and also his hopes to impress his father felt very realistic to me. At some point I was a bit skeptical about the fact that it´s a children´s book, especially at the point we met Screed Toe-taker. However, for me as an adult this book definitely worked pretty good and I am excited to read the final one. 4.5 of 5 stars overall.
