Review
This was enjoyable and bings back much of what made The Mad Planet so great, but in this story it all seems so easy. You know Burl will succeed in finding them a better land and you know he will defeat whatever dangers they encounter. This story lacks the uncertainty and the growth of Burl that we saw in the first story. Stil it is fun. Worth reading, just not great.
