It might not have been the right time for me, but the content was so dark. I needed a more hope filled story. The world was interesting but I couldn’t take one more bad thing happening.

A good but somewhat frustrating book. Pheby excels in writing about the small things and the nuances, as with a dog’s perspective or the sarcastic glossary. He loses it at the bombastic action and “big magic” scenes, in which destruction and decay feel Michael Bay-ish. Still, I’d read the sequel.
