Bu kitabı elinde tutuyorsan, "Onlar'ın Diyarı"nı keşfetmek üzeresin demektir. Merak etme, korkacak bir şey yok. Finn ile birlikte sımsıcak ama aynı zamanda sırılsıklam bir maceraya atılırken, kalbinin sesini dinlemeyi öğreneceksin.
This is something I probably would've enjoyed a lot more when I was like 10 or something. However, adult me can look beyond the words and see that, while it was a light easy read, it was also a story with the bare minimum of ingredients needed to create one. An emotional burden for our protagonist to make them relatable/likeable? Check. A time constraint? Check. A place and world fleshed out just enough for our story to make sense. Check. There isn't anything inherently wrong with the things I've listed, or with the book. As I've stated before, a light easy read, nothing too special.
This book deserves all the parise it has been getting. It is a wonderful original story. The whole underworld phenomenon, we might think, has been overdone with "Percy Jackson" or the "His dark Materials" books. You might think that until you read this book, filled with wonderfully drawn characters who will resonate with readers and draw you in to a beautifully crafted story.
This book is written for children and young adult readers. Many books for that market will resonate with older readers too. I don't think this is one of those, although avid readers of children's books of any age can love it. I do not think it is a criticism of the work to say that though. The point is that this book hits its intended audience perfectly.
