The Dragon Lantern by Alan Gratz

5.0

Listen here, Alan Gratz has created one of the best new series in ages. The main characters are done so well and the story moves along and is paced just right. When you think that things can't get any worse or can't change, you're surprised with something new.The surprises aren't just to lengthen the story either as everything that happens is for a logical reason. It's actually really hard for me to say how great this book is without feeling like I'm giving away parts to the story.

I will say some of the things that are described to be parallel to how we know some of the important cities are bit laughable, knowing this is a YA novel makes this alright as it's used to be able to both teach lessons and make sure the reader is familiar with the locales. Archie's flaw can also be a bit annoying but at the same time it is still good reading the whole way through.
