I liked the characters which grew throughout this coming of age story. I liked how the supernatural elements were infused with the mechanical contraptions. The story’s tension ends, but listeners know there is still a lot more to the story.

I don’t know much about WWII Czechoslovakia so I can’t comment on the history involved. The story itself is a reimagining while still showing the horrific reality of that war.

The reader is excellent.

I liked it and would recommend for fantasy fans 13 & up.
