Review: Tristan Strong Destroys the World

Tristan Strong Destroys the World Tristan Strong Destroys the World by Kwame Mbalia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Though there was no promise at the time of its release that there would be a second story for Tristan Strong, it was still pretty clear that there was no way this section of the Rick Riordan Presents multiverse was going to be just one and done. And now, just about one year after Kwame Mbalia gave us the first book, Tristan's got more story to tell - naturally, because he's got the storytelling skills of Anansi on his side, up to and including to a particularly magical smartphone where Anansi is the "web developer" of the Diaspor-app, among other creations. So yeah, Tristan's not done with his adventures in MidPass and Alke, not by a long shot. And while this book doesn't yet announce a name for its follow-up, there is absolutely no way Mbalia's not giving us a third book, not with that nasty little cliffhanger. Clearly he's been learning pretty well from the master, Uncle Rick himself...
