• An involving adventure with an unusual and interesting setting.
• Kehl is a sympathetic main character with a believable voice.
• As Xipi, Temoc, and the rest of the Fallen gain Kehl’s—and the reader’s—sympathy, they become more likable.
• A good choice for those who like adventure stories and for reluctant readers.
Horn Book
Unable to live up to his warrior father's expectations, thirteen-year-old Kehl instead develops his skills as a cartographer. After being kidnapped by pirates and forced to map the uncharted waters surrounding the Empire, Kehl learns that his future depends on breaking from his past. Detailed evocation of setting makes this story an enjoyable read. An author's note describes the tale's inspiration.
