![]() ![]() Kate de Vries is the heroine and is a perfect strong female lead to match the hero. The reader laughs at his humour, pities him in his low moments, and roots for him to succeed. The hero, fifteen-year-old Matt Cruse, is smart and talented, but also has his flaws and weaknesses. ![]() The characters of Airborn are vibrant, appealing, and dynamic and each has a role to play to keep the plot moving forward. ![]() Flying pirates, undiscovered species and islands only add to the appeal of this world. The airship is so well described it jumps off the page. The steampunk vibe is strong with this one! The Aurora is basically a flying cruise-ship. Oppel sets this novel in our world but it is filled with strange new technology and gadgets and ways of transportation, like airships. Here are five reasons why I think Airborn is worth reading, or re-reading! 1. This last time I read it, I read with the specific purpose to understand WHY I find this book so wonderful. The first few times I read this book, I read it because I loved the story. I then went on to read it a few years later and picked it up a third time last week to read over Christmas break. I was first introduced to Airborn when I listened to it on audiotape when I was in my early teens. Happy New Year! I want to start by reflecting on the last book I chose to read in 2017.Īirborn by Kenneth Oppel is a brilliant example of well-written speculative fiction. ![]()
