![]() ![]() Hermux feels so genuine, especially in details like his notes of gratitude in his journal or his innocent affection for Linka, that he makes this whole book a treasure. He comes off as eminently likable, a steadfast friend, in a novel full of posturing and protest. He loves clockwork and watchmaking but doesn't have much taste in clothing (fashion playing a large role in this novel). Tantamoq is a delightful character, humble, introverted, and rather shy. ![]() Eva Ibbotson ended up being my substitution, but I've always retained affection for this series-affection, I was pleased to find, that persists to this day. I adored this series in 4th grade, so much so that my teacher had to talk me out of doing a project on Michael Hoeye, because he'd only written these first two Hermux Tantamoq Adventures and we had to choose an author who'd published at least three books. ![]()
