Airborn by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

The book started a little slow for me, but boy was it worth it once you got going! This is the perfect book for anyone who loves adventure and the thrill of a character experiencing new things while thwarting danger at every turn! The action isn't overdone though and the characters really shine through. Matt Cruse is a very relatable character and Kate is so bold and brave that it is hard not to fall in love with her. The two of them play off each other brilliantly and it was very easy to visualize their adventures on land and in the air. The nuances of the world they live in are so perfectly woven into the story that you forget that this world doesn't exist and that airships aren't out there transporting passengers and cargo through the sky outside. I eagerly await the second book in this series!
