This good is good
It has been a long time since I've read such a wonderful book, with only a few months from the Ranger's Apprentice this book will fill the time. Set in colonial Europe young Rossamund Bookchild has dreamed of joining the navy when a mysterious man comes to offer a life of a lamp lighter. The book is a fantastic read with characters that you'll love and hate, monsters, and monster hunters, history of the world . At some points you will feel sorry for some of the monsters which is something I had no interest in before. The only con would be it was to short, but apart from that a great read for kids and teens (this is coming from a sixteen year old). D.M. Cornish is up there with John Flanagan and maybe J. R. R. Tolkien.
