Review
Kingdom Above The Cloud has been a pleasant read. It took me a few chapters to get into the story, but it’s mainly because there are quite a few characters introduced at once. It takes a bit to get everything moving, but when it does, the story turns into a great adventure. I would say halfway through the book, it picks up because the mystery unfolds, which makes it nice to read about.
If you are religious, the story can make it or break it. I’m completely impartial to it and personally read it as a young adult fantasy novel. While this book has been a nice read, I struggled with a couple of things I’ll explain in a bit.
I really enjoyed the different points of view. It gave a better understanding of the world, the characters, and what was going on. I also enjoyed the world itself and how it was developed. I thought it was very well done. I enjoyed reading about the marks and the way of living both above and below the cloud, and I truly enjoyed that aspect.
My only issue though is that I did not quite connect with Tovi and I may not have cared too much when I should have. I did enjoy her journey though and how her character grew in the story. I very much enjoyed reading about all the characters. The mystery and schemes were great and kept me going. Overall, it was a nice read.
I will definitely read book, especially because with that ending, I really want to know what comes next.
