Hey guys I am back here today with a new blog post. Its been a while since I did have talked about the books I have been reading because of different assignments in English and having to post them instead. Anyway as you can probably tell by the title, I started a new book called Airborn, by Kenneth Oppel. From where I have read so far, it feels like a real good book. It's in a world where instead of planes being the dominant form of air travel it is instead blimps. Think of a cruise ship flying in the sky and that basically describes it. Immense. Exciting. Worthwhile.
So what was my first impression? I liked the introduction of it," I was keeping watch on a dark stack of nimbus clouds off to the northwest, but we were leaving it far behind, and it looked to be smooth going all the way back to Lionsgate City. Like riding a cloud." This to me really sets up the scene for the rest of the book. I can always kinda relate back to that whenever I want to imagine a the blimp flying in the sky. The front cover of the book also helps in this as it shows the POV from a ship looking up to the blimp flying.As of right now I would rate the book a 4 out of 5 stars. I am 50 pages in and the only reason why i wouldn't rate it higher is because the main action of the story hasn't really started yet. The book is quite long though so at the point I have read it, i think the main plot points of the story is still being built up. SO guys what do you think. If anyone has read this book already tell me down in the comments, but until then, ill see you guys next time I upload a blog post
