The Thief Queen's Daughter: The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jason Chan. Ven and his friends (The Floating Island) venture into the outlaw-inhabited Gated City, then become trapped when one of them is kidnapped and another revealed to be the Thief Queen's daughter. Haydon's affable characters and imaginative, well-realized backdrop retain their appeal, but the plot, overly concerned with setting the stage for a third volume, never reaches the intensity of the first.
