Mini-Review
Just a mini review from me on this tour, folks. A full review will be coming – likely once all the BBNYA competitions are out of the way!
I honestly wasn’t overly fussed on this one, but it did have its charms, so today I’ll be focusing on the positives. (Again, full review soon, containing my full feelings!)
Octavia Bloom has its charms, most notably in the protagonist. Octavia is only 10 years old, but she faces the challenges and mysteries thrown at her bravely. She’s a sweet kid, who just wants the people around her to be happy, but also seeks out adventure. She is excited and overwhelmed once she goes through the door, and Tudor does a great job of portraying this all through the child’s eyes. There are some lovely moments between Octavia and her sister, and the mystery of what, exactly, is going on with her parents and family keeps the reader guessing. It’s a cute book, adorable in its own ways, and maybe one to consider for younger readers.
Don’t forget to check out the other review posts on the tour!
