In Airborn we join Matt Cruse - a boy who was literally born in the air. Becoming an airship captain someday is Matt’s ultimate dream, and sailing on the Aurora is his path to get there. In a twist of fate Matt crosses paths with Kate de Vries and is quickly pulled into a sky-high adventure; where the risks could cost the lives of all of those aboard the Aurora. I love, love, loved this book. Airborn had all of the right elements for me; strong characters, action, adventure, wit, humor, emotional depth, and a touch of romance. The writing style comfortably portrayed the mannerisms of the time period and you felt pulled into history. The alternate world filled with airships was fascinating, as were the new species portrayed. I wouldn’t necessarily put this novel in the steampunk category but it had that feel to it, and I am a sucker for steampunk novels! The plot flowed well and the story line was absorbing; you were quick to become emotionally involved with the characters and events. The main characters were well developed and likeable. Matt was an easy favorite and a great lead character. He was loyal, brave and witty and I enjoyed the book being written from his point of view. I loved his sarcastic internal dialogue! Matt had hidden layers and as the reader you learned more about him throughout the novel. The story was adventurous and well paced. Yet, the novel wasn’t all fun and games, there were a few harrowing moments and some tragedy. Airborn could easily be a stand alone novel with its well rounded conclusion. However, I was so glad to know there were more books because I was not ready to let go of the story. Lucky for me this series isn’t brand new, so I have already had the chance to read the next two novels. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed Airborn and was satisfied with the novel overall. If you enjoy a good midgrade to early young-adult action & adventure story be sure to put this one at the top of your list!

I admit to having many preconceptions prior to reading this book based on the title, the cover art and the blurb. I thought the fairy would be a corporeal being, one that Charlie would interact with. There wasn't and I think I was mourning the loss of it throughout. Charlie is a pretty self-centred, sports-driven fourteen year old who's trying desperately to ditch her car parking fairy. You see, in New Avalon everyone has a fairy that manages one specific need or skill. This is a very interesting town where they are scarily insular, not thinking outside their city's boundaries, worshipping those without talent and attending sports specific schools. (I think there might be some societal commentary there lol). The entire plot requires you to sympathise with Charlie's predicament. I didn't. I don't think she really had it all that bad. On the other hand, Fioreze does - a fairy that attracts all like aged males is in a scary predicament. This is the first Larbalestier novel I have read and I am impressed with her style; the plot moved quickly, had a deft touch and hefty doses of humour. But I was ambivalent and sometimes annoyed with Charlie and that was an issue. (I am very willing to chalk that up to my age, rather than JL's writing). I think some great concepts were integrated, that being too focused on your goals can have positive and negative connatations. I had some problems with all the kid snatching - Danvers would have had a restraining order on him so quick his head spun in real life. The aggresive means in which the guys would approach Fioreze and then Charlie also troubled me but I do think it was supposed to. Fairies possess amazing powers. I think there are many concepts in this tale that sometimes bog down the flow but it is an entertaining read. I love the use of an alternate universe setting and would to have seen some expansion upon it. In my interview with Larbalestier this week, she said that she was finished with New Avalon so a sequel does not look like likely. The vocabulary of New Avalon was interesting too, I have always had an affinity for aged language and we see that with words like pulchritudinous peppered throughout the dialogue. It took me awhile to adjust to it but it definiely added to the feel of the narrative. How to Ditch Your Fairy is an interesting look at an insular, magical society combined with the selfish wants of a teen. Humour is prevalent and it's definitely worth checking out!
