A Great and Terrible Beauty

I liked this book and I am going to read the next books in the series. I got a little frustrated with the interaction with the characters and I thought it was a bit one dimensional and some things were wrapped up a little to cleanly for me but the storyline itself was intriging so on plot alone I would recommend it to young adult fiction readers. I love Kartik and I hope he plays a greater role in the second and third books.
