The Shadow Thieves

by Anne Ursu

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Charlotte and her cousin Zee must save the children of their town from having their souls stolen.

I liked this book, but the plot wasn’t too interesting to me. What I liked more were the illustrations, the size of the book, the margins, and the font. Sometimes books just look good, you know?

The words in the actual book are mostly good, but the conclusion and the resolution of the conflict felt flat. It felt as though the book peaked at a different time from when the plot peaked.

I’d still read this author’s next book, but I won’t cry if I forget to look for it.
