Nov 28, 2020This volume has plenty of action on every page, and I am thoroughly enjoying this Jules-Vernian story of aether ships and lost civilizations on other celestial bodies. Seraphin is a very brave and strong main character, but right there next to him is Sophie, who is not going to let any boy push her around. She's strong willed, a little short tempered, and quick-witted. Then there's Hans, the comic relief who can't stop complaining about sharing his beer rations with other people. The watercolor artwork is beautiful, and I appreciate the detailed schematics of the aetherships when they're included. There are many different aetherships in this volume, and they are all elegant and beautiful with lovely steampunk elements. This is a great adventure story that doesn't seem to have an end in sight.
