Even though this is the third book in the series, this is my first foray into the world of the Idea Miners. Thankfully the ARC copy I was provided gave some explanation into the world and characters, but I still feel like I missed out a bit not having read the first two books. That being said, I really enjoyed the story and characters. I liked how the two worlds presented – the Land of Lights and the Land of Harvesters (our world) – had a symbiotic relationship. Ideas discovered in LoL would become the basis for knowledge and inventions in our world, which would in turn feed back to LoL. The ending had a bit of an 80s / 90s sitcom vibe (which you’ll know if you know), but thankfully it did not diminish the overall story in any way. The LoL had a Lord of the Rings for kids feel to it, and overall I felt the world was well thought out and vividly portrayed through the writing. This was a solid conclusion to the series, and I’m looking forward to going back and filling in the gaps with the other two novels.
