I enjoyed this book tremendously. It’s not my usual genre, but it made for a nice change. The characters made me laugh. I would have enjoyed a pronunciation for some words, names, and places but I did the best I could. The end came too quick, but luckily there was a bonus chapter of the next book to date me for a few moments. Overall I had fun.

It's always hard to enter into a new world of fantasy material, to try a different style when reading, and that's precisely what I got from Satchel Pong And the Great Migration. Part of the difficulty I had was the usual difficulty when starting a new series, and that is following the world-building, but I believe this book does it incredibly well! By the second chapter, you're travelling with the main character out and about, ready to solve the problem of the increasing heat!
This, however, isn't the only reason why I liked the story as I did. Indeed, the concept is what kept me interested, because I kept asking myself, "How will this be solved?"
While Satchel Pong brought us with him, I couldn't help but feel frustrated with his attitude, though I imagine that's what a lot of politicians, and officials may feel, when posed with the simple statement, "You're not doing your job."
At first, though, my favorite character wasn't the main character. Indeed, for a fairly silly reason, my favorite character was the hotel owner, with her deaf husband. I liked her, because of the way the accent was put into writing.
All in all, the first book does give way to a few questions, what is it that can be done to bring us further in the world? What other problems will Satchel Pong, the Meteorologist, face? And how can he fix them?
In this new, comedic, steampunk, and fantasy story, I have learned once again, that heroes come in all sorts of shapes, and sizes. Satchel Pong, while I wouldn't necessarily call him a hero, does prove that he means well.
All together, Satchel Pong and the Great Migration is a great, short, read, it's a new style, a type of fantasy I've not seen before, and that's always good to have.
