Helpful Score: 1

I really wanted to like this book, but overall I wasn't thrilled with it.

It started out really well. The author sucked me right into the story, I liked the main character, and the opening scenes were great. After about 4-5 chapters, the story started to get "bogged down" with too many details. It got a bit strange in the middle, and it began to feel like a cross between a comic book and a bad Disney movie.

Unfortunately, towards the end, the bad Disney movie took over almost completely. The ending was nothing more than a very thinly covered ad to "buy the next book!" as the characters discuss buying tickets for their "next adventure."

I read this book right after reading "The Greyfriar", so maybe that's why this one seemed so fluffy and silly to me. I had hoped it would be much better. It wasn't terrible, but I doubt I'll read book 2.
