Midnighters The Secret Hour, by Scott Westerfeld, Chapters 1-3
OK, people and assorted beings, let’s do it.
I remember the Midnighters trilogy fondly, but I’ve read it a long time ago, back when I was actually buying those things called “paper books,” and my former self had a terrible taste in literature. Let’s see how the book holds up to my nostalgia. I do recall there being some world-building problems, so there certainly would be something to talk about, but I am curious if there is some more problematic stuff to be found and if the plot would look any good to me now.
