Vango: Between Sky and Earth

I brought Vango: Between Sky and Earth home from a conference in 2014, and it has been sitting in my TBR for all these years. It's over four hundred pages, and set (somewhat) in France, so I've been waiting for just the right time to read it.

I'm writing my own adventure story, and it's Paris in July, so why not now?

And Vango is a wonderful adventure story, with airships and pirates and murders and treasures, with the point-of-view shifting from Vango himself, who knows little about his past except that he washed up on an Italian shore many years ago, to an airship maker in Germany where Hitler is rising to power, to an heiress in a castle in Scotland, to Stalin's daughter in Russia...

It's my own fault that I didn't know it's just Part 1, but eek, can I leave poor Vango where I left him at the end of the book?
