The writing doesn’t go too deeply in world building but, still leaves you awestruck of the idea of a secret society of explores going through portals and exploring strange worlds. It gets straight to the point of the plot.
I know writers can get sidetracked when writing a stylized world such as steampunk. They get so detail in the world that the characters and plot crumble apart.
I like how each character comment off one another. Their strength and weakness go well with each other coinventing me that they can work together as a team.
The villain is portray as menacing and it is delivers well. The Dead Gentleman doesn’t make a full appearance for most of the book. He only briefly decrepit and talk about him are in hush whispers. Basely he the boogie man. The monster under the bed. That way when sleeping you don’t hang your hand over the side of the bed, for he might reach out with those cold hands and grab you.
I would like to know more about this world and the Explorers Society. To be flush out more in greater detail. Maybe this can get turn into a series.
I know most MG end in a hopeful tone. To me what stand out is that the ending is open to being hopeful. Jezebel and Tommy are going off on an adventure that made or made not end well. ( )
