But nothing of that is too detrimental when we're on a quite rollocking ride through the different desires and fears of the characters, and these we can all empathise with. I did however wish for some of the bumps in the rollercoaster to be evened out. A book that throws so many adult and teenage characters as a band of journeyers, plus a robot, plus connections to Greek myth, perhaps needed a smoother pass, a little bit of re-editing, before becoming as successfully dramatic as intended.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of [[The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks]].
I can compare this with titles such as [[The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch]] in feel and scope, or perhaps the dystopian holidays of [[Chronosphere: Time Out of Time by Alex Woolf]].
