A perfect book to get me back into reading more consistently. It has the trappings of YA fantasy but the world building, magic system, and many of the characters drove past the 'just YA' label I tend to get with YA fantasy and intrigues me enough to want to see more of this world. The weakest aspect of the story for me was the romance. It felt a bit sudden to leap from youthful curiosity to being in love. However, again, it is YA so it isn't unexpected. I think I just outgrew that type of story arc.
Audiobook specific review section: Tim Curry is an excellent narrator and I will forever associate his Mogget voice with the character.
