Let me preface this review by saying that I found no fault with this book, I did not enjoy it.
Some in the Walls by Teymour Shahabi follows Andrew Day as he survives his inaugeration as the Surway heir. Andrew is required to take on an alternate identity and lead a double life as both the master of the 'Surway House' and an ordinary private school student who is the ranger of the Surway House. This book contains many fancifal elements that are vaguely reminiscent of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, and in some ways the plot seems similar as well, but with higher stakes.
The actual writing style was slightly off-putting, although I could not give a clear reason why. It felt a bit as if it was an adult book written to be read to children.
In no way is this a bad book, nor one which I would tell others to steer clear of, but it didn't suit my personal tastes.
I received an advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
