I picked this up at B&N on a whim, and I'm REALLY glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Engaging, unpredictable in the best way, just plain good. I'll be keeping an eye out for the followup.

Wow. This book really surprised me. What a fun story! The plot moves quickly, was interesting and at times very complex. I'd say the plot was easily as good as Harry Potter. The characters were maybe not quite as captivating, but still a great read.
