    The first volume starts of a bit slow and slightly confusing because you are plopped into the middle of this built society on a floating island.  However, once the narration started, I was pulled in and didn't realize how quickly I was devouring this book.  The characters are interesting, and the author really takes you along on all their adventures.  The ending really got to me, and I can't wait to grab the second volume to see what the fall out is.  What originally drew me to this series, aside from a recommendation from a student, was the art style.  The covers all have these beautiful, textured watercolors that really grabbed me, and the art inside doesn't disappoint.  Scenes are full and lush and characters are nuanced.
