An incredibly beautiful story! Jones builds his characters carefully, drawing the reader in, making us want more. The story is complex, as a modern fable should be, and the lessons within can be easily correlated to real life. Absolutely stunning imagery and imagination.

This was a quick read. The imagery evoked an atmosphere of fables and myths.

I found this book in Bangkok the summer while traveling through S.E. Asia; yet, this book fooled me into thinking it was Winter, specifically February. The book follows Thaddeus as he and the Balloonists fight the war with February, (a mildly-sinister fellow who lives in the clouds) to bring back warmth, family, and flight. Jones style stretched my spatial perception, sense of reality, and engaged my senses. He has a unique style that was engaging and brought so much beauty into this world of cold and sadness. It was like an obscure dream filtered with shades of grey's, green, a faint blue. For anyone wanting a surprisingly intriguing escape from reality, this is a fantastic read.
