I wasn’t really looking forward to either of these books but ended up enjoying both, though one more than the other…
I really loved The Dungeoneers. Some of the characters were really complex and that’s something I like in middle grade fiction. The good guy was a bad guy who maybe was also a good guy except he wasn’t. And, that was hard. I hope I can read the next one in the series. Someone remind me…
Mars Evacuees was the book I was saving for last because I wasn’t enthusiastic about it at all. I don’t really like “space fiction” all that much. (Don’t hold it against me, y’all.) And, true to form, TW liked this one more than I did. Something about the tone didn’t feel like it was middle grade. TW disagreed. I don’t know — it took me a long, long time to care at all about any of the characters and the ones I cared most about were not the “Mars Evacuees.”
Did you read two books in this series or was there a 2nd book you read? 🙂 Thanks for sharing your review. We have that book at my bookstore and I hadn’t heard anything about it.
Well. huh. Looks like the other half of the post disappeared. Let me see if I can find it again. (Probably bad code…)
Thanks 🙂
