I thought it was important to mention it though, because I know so many adults who read YA. This wouldn't be a good fit for them.

Or maybe more will be explained in the sequels? I guess that's the problem with some series books sometimes. They leave big reveals in other books and you just keep on questioning the one you're reading. Sometimes the hype isn't even worth it. I personally like Fantasy books though so I may or may not like this one.

So I really do not mind reading a lot of tropes in it as long as they're interesting. <br /><br />Shame that the world building was lacking. That's one of the most important elements of a fantasy book. <br /><br />Great review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096025184721737678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131544436877841249.post-90973365662271869652014-01-13T13:28:23.083-05:002014-01-13T13:28:23.083-05:00Totally new to me and your mini intro sucked me ri...Totally new to me and your mini intro sucked me right in, I am wondering if my niece would enjoy this one, adding to my list.
