First of all I'd like to thank the publisher/author for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I procrastinated a lot on reading this, but as I eventually made my way through it I found that I pretty much had to stop reading about halfway through. I'd like to just briefly mention here that I tend to be really picky with the 'first impression' that books make before I read them. If it doesn't pick up and get good in the first 50% of the book, I pretty much assume it's not going anywhere, and as with this book, call it quits. There are a few criticisms I have, but I think the biggest book is that this book is just not what it's marketed to be. From the cover and the blurb you'd go in expecting a YA-fantasy type thing, but this feels weirdly more like this mesh of comedy and YA fantasy. None of the characters felt real or interesting, the fight scenes were dry and filled with character banter?? (which was weird, especially since they're literally in the middle of fighting, not to mention unrealistic) and I wasn't interested overall.
