While, again, this book does work as a stand-alone, I’m very much hoping for a third installment, especially on that front.īeyond all of the strengths that it shares with its predecessor-and it very definitely shares all of those strengths- Rise of the Jumbies is an especial stand out in the honest, layered way that it talks about family. But beyond that, it’s a profound pleasure to see the larger arc of the character development, relationships, and growth over the course of the two books-and that very much includes Corinne’s relationship with her aunt Severine, the antagonist. For one thing, it’s flat-out great: a smart, spooky, action-packed, emotionally satisfying adventure starring three-dimensional characters written with depth, nuance, warmth, and humor.
