Corin's Chance by Hannah Walker
3.0
Good intro to this series
There's a lot of great world building in this book which is why it perhaps felt a bit messy at times.
Corin was just a bit too perfect and it felt on occasion that the whole world was just falling at his feet wanting to be his friend.
Kel felt a bit more rounded as a character and the secondary characters and setting was very well done. The Avanti squad are all varied characters I'm going to be interested in reading about.
I believe this was the author's first published book and, having read some of her other works, I think that goes some way to explaining the rougher edges.
The dialogue gets a bit overblown in some of the speeches and I have to admit that 'cute child speak' just grated on my nerves each time she opened her mouth.
But, overall, I enjoyed this first foray into a new series.
