I will admit that this book was the slow start but once itgot going it really got going! I will admit that I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book just because at the beginning it seemed like a typical ya Saturday and with similar characters to ones you've already read a million times but the authors were able to change flip all of that into an interesting and dynamic story. I would like to see more character development from our two main characters because they have very similar plot motivations and personality. Once I got into the story it was a fairly quick read and the cliffhanger ending is annoying but I totally understand that they need to hook you in for the next book. I like the cover it stands out nicely on my bookshelf and I'm excited to see what the sequel looks like. I would recommend this to YA fantasy readers, because it's really plot driven rather than character driven which I think is something most people look for in an adult fantasy
