Ptolemy's Gate

Okay. These are fantasy-tastic, but very well written. the only issue i have is the ending...i will not spoil it for you, but it is very literary. it is so common for many of these YA books to perform exactly as the student's want them to...happy endings all around and everyone gets their just desert. it is refreshing to see a series that defies this paradigm.

it isn't book theif, but it is a more productive read than most of the schlock.
