Hunters of the Lost City by Kali Wallace

3.0

As an adult, I've read this before (think, the various books in the Giver series, City of Ember, etc.) but as a pre-teen probably not so using that as my guide... it's ok. At times I had to remember how old Octavia was, but perhaps that was due more to living in a city that was the only place to survive the war. And those ferox? Such an interesting creation. I wish we'd learned more about the magic charms that keep them under control, and spent a little more time with Master Flavia. Instead, we get a lot of the action and adventure parts being a little rushed - usually I'm part of the "less is more" brigade, but here more would definitely been better. Not a lot more, just enough to really flesh out the world that Wallace has created.
