85%. I really enjoyed this, especially for a children's fantasy novel! The children's characters were entertaining and unique. Joanne was based off of Joan of Arc, and some of those traits were shown throughout the novel. Jacob's motivation was something that was the most realistic- about his family. I loved Will's character in a way that he was just a large stuffed animal that you wanted to hug throughout the novel. What I liked the most about the novel was the evident research that was put into making the novel special, and the illustrations that accompanied, especially because this was a fantasy novel, where the illustrations are scarce. The little history hints were nice to keep the novel authentic. Overall, this was really good for children wanting a more sophisticated reading experience, and I hope that this is a series, because I would love to know what happens to the children later on!
