![]() ![]() I mean, it's a fantasy world and an alternate history, so some suspension of disbelief is definitely expected. That said, I had to suspend my disbelief a lot. It's an incredibly intriguing world in which airships rule the sky and people are finding ways into space around the turn of the century. There are tons of details about the alternate history that Oppel has created for us. ![]() I love the characters of Matt Cruse and Kate de Vries so much that there was no way I wasn't going to love this book. Will they both make it into the ether? And what is waiting up there for them? But Matt's not sure he'll make it through the extremely tough qualifying trials and Kate's sufferagette antics cause her father to think twice about allowing her on the expedition. To sweeten the deal, his beloved Kate will be going on the expedition to search for extraterrestrial life. ![]() The Space Race is on between Canada and France and Matt is determined to be on the first ship into space. In Starclimber, Matt Cruse is offered the chance to qualify for the first ever team of astralnauts. I was so very excited to find out that Kenneth Oppel had written a third book and I absolutely wasn't disappointed. ![]() If you haven't read Airborn and Skybreaker, I'm quite sure I don't know what you're waiting for. ![]()
