First, it was great seeing a diverse cast of characters. Not only are they friends but the three of them also work together to overcome adversity. This compelling urban fantasy young adult novel is brimming with historic details and loaded with suspense. The interaction between the characters is realistic, even if the bird is fantasy. Although the story was a bit short for my taste, the author did tie up all loose ends. Unfortunate for this reader, the ending was too rushed but for young adults, who the novel is geared for, it may be just right. If you're looking for a young adult fantasy novel, pick up Ship of Souls! A quick entertaining read that I'm confident most young readers will enjoy.
