From the other reviewers, you can get the idea of the story. I am glad I borrowed this from the library as I think is a very disturbing book for children and some adults to read. WARNING!!!! it is a grafically violent book with very evil and scary characters with even scarier moments. The premise is interesting and I was excited to read more until I came to the oracle, this character is way too evil and is suppose to be a good guy? It is well written and it captures your attention but it is just too full of evil. I feel there is no real line that can be drawn between good and evil. I will not continue to read the book nor will I recommed it to anyone else.
