Double O Stephen and the Ghostly Realm

Readable enough but I struggled to enjoy this book. The pacing is too slow, the conflict too tame, the setting too thin; overall I found myself bored. There's never anything At Stake for the narrator (whose voice is unremarkable) so I never found myself caring about what happened to him. Ultimately it reads like the first book in a series where its all just setting the scene for stories to follow. Cover art is pretty though.

I received a free copy of this book from Tundra Books for review.
