Notes: I LOVED the creatures like their pet polar bear and their pet miniature dinosaurs, I liked the half-elf with autism symptoms and could really relate to him, I liked the character of Ethan who never knew what friendship is and who is traumatized, I loved the different scenes - it felt so vivid and I could picture them like in a movie (this would be an amazing adventure movie), I loved the different explorers clubs and can imagine great future adventures through those, the writing was good - and all in all - this was just tons of fun.
