not as good as the first book but still great i beleive the third book destroys the meaning of airborn and the trilogy

Better than the second in the setting and action. However, I miss the sky pirates (they're always brilliant) and was irked at the romance. I'm a hardcore non-romantic action fan. But, frozen airships, goggles, and flying machines? Pretty impressive overall.

It's a bit like the first, but still a good book.

Really escapes from the book prior and begins a new gripping story

Instead of reading Airborn, read this one first!

This book kept me reading it without being able to put it down, but I did prefer the first over this one, for, it was less creepy (in certain parts I found it weird). Overall it was a good book though. I wonder what Starclimber will be like...

This was the 1st book that I read in the series, not knowing that there were 2 before this! It was amazing! Full of surprises and wild adventures (even clean romance:) It is full of pages that will keep you reading...and the drama in it will make you hate putting it down! (And in this book they got a nice pic on the front:) Oppel better write a 4th book to this series; he can't just leave it with their engagement! :) I rated it 4 1/2 stars, it is not as good as the first 2. I do like the space thing, but it just is not as good. I hope the 4th one (I am really hoping there is a 4th, if not- I'm going to be mad) is great!

This could be the best in the series (so far). I hope that Kenneth Oppel writes a fourth book or field guide to the series. READ!
