Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. The plot of the story was interesting, and I liked how the story started with some context on Thomas. Thomas had enough backstory that the reader got a good understanding of his background without the information being repetitive. The one thing I did not like about this story was that the beginning seemed similar to a lot of other books. However, through reading the rest of the story, I realized that the plot was unique and interesting. I really liked the writing style of the author; the style was clear and concise, which allowed me to have a good understanding of what was going on in the story. The pacing of the story was also good. There were no parts of the story that felt like they " dragged on". I recommend this book to readers looking for a book about adventures!
