Captain Hawklin and the Lost Land has been the best in the series for me, so far. It was good to have a major antagonist return to give Steven a real challenge. That's not to say that previous villains were easy, but, for me, it really pops when there's a personal connection. I find myself on the fence regarding Desa, but that is also a plus for me. She is definitely Steven's match, but I don't want things to be a lovey dovey tropes, either. Amelia Earheart was completely different from what I expected her to be. She turned out to be an interesting mix of chaotic good and somewhat mercenary. There was enough in this book for me to tear through it in less than 2 days...all of that to say, I cannot wait to see what happens next!!

Good book but with some questions that were never really answered. Interesting bring back of an old character.
