It literally is a never-ending saga of one horrific incident after another, highlighting Dickens' strong views about how children were treated during Victorian times. And while there is a bittersweet ending, it leaves you with a feeling of deep sadness for these lost children.

The narration is a little too fan-boy for my liking and at times is quite irritating.
The plot is great and action rolls along at a good pace, with mostly good characters introduced, though they all feel a little clichéd.
I did like the premise where those with superpowers are in charge and the world does their bidding. I would love to read a prequel book where the superheroes fought and divided the world up into fiefdoms for all the most powerful, though at the same time having little on the "origin story" works out quite well in this case.

Kind of a Star Wars/Logan's Run ripoff where an enslaved civilization lives underground doing the bidding of the evil Zygon never questioning if there is a world above or where they fit in the universe. The discovery of a mysterious sword hilt send Orin on an outer space adventure he would never forget.
It was always funny hearing animated characters says "damn" and "shit" when I was younger. Not a big deal now.
Originally released in 3D, you can tell when you watch, but it is still an entertaining animated thrill ride adventure.
