Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody

adventurous mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Neat combination of fantasy and nuclear apocalypse, but for a younger audience. Most of the side characters felt pretty flat, but there are 6 more books to hopefully fix that. The world that Carmody built is the biggest draw for the series, and I'm definitely interested in continuing, but good lord, the numbering on the North American Editions looks atrocious and confusing to me.
