Yet another book I had to give up on. Not because it was particularly bad, but it was just not likable. I found it rather boring, especially for a book made for children. The whole idea was quite curious and it even started off well, but I didn't really know where it was going and it felt like the author wasn't quite sure either, or maybe we just weren't shown the path?

And about the showing... I might sometimes complain about prolonged descriptions (I have an issue with these after some shool-reads) but I do like when there are descriptions and when the author shows us the world, the heroes, the events. This is yet another story where it's more telling rather than showing.

Heroes seemed likable and interesting and I really wanted to try and finish this book to see what these kids can do, but I simply couldn't.
Maybe in some far future I'll give it another try.
