I've been reading these from the library and had to own my own copy.
This was an intriguing read for a preteen boy. A well-written introduction to fantasy and imagination.
This is the first book in the Stoneheart trilogy. I was really looking forward to reading this book, the premise was very intriguing. However at 150 pages into the story I was still not all that interested or engaged with the story so I decided to stop reading it.
I liked the London setting and enjoyed the idea of all the statues and sculptures coming alive for some epic battle. Unfortunately, I never engaged with any of the characters and still didn't understand the overall plot or point of the story 150 pages in.
My eleven year old son also tried reading this book before I did. He didn't make it past the first couple chapters. He said it was creepy and boring and he just didn't like it.
Overall this was an okay book but really wasn't for me. While there isn't anything glaringly wrong with it, neither me or my son thought the story was very good. It was a hard book to engage in.
