I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Warren the 13th and the All-Seeing Eye was good, but not quite what I was expecting. While it could be put in the Gothic category, there is a Steam Punk element that surprised me. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing; at least for me. Middle-Grade readers will probably love it.
Perhaps my problem is that I was expecting a story that was a bit darker like Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events” books. It’s close to that kind of darkness, but not quite. Also, the story is rather simple. There isn’t much complexity at all, and that leads me to think that perhaps this book was written for the youngest Middle-Grade reader.
Overall, it’s still an excellent choice for young readers, especially if they’ve just graduated from Children’s books. Adult readers will likely enjoy reading it aloud to their kids as well.
