Overall an excellent read, though a little slow-going at first. I finally got into it around page fifty. At the end while Kendra was making up her mind about what to do there were a lot of flashback examples of her careful nature. To me the flashbacks at the end slowed down the action just a little.

I love Lena's backstory. Very interested to see if anything happens with her in the future.

I enjoyed the characterization when not in the form of an info-dump. I found myself really caring for the characters. Characterization and relationships are what I enjoy reading about the most.

This really reminded me of the Spiderwick Chronicles for some reason. I think it seemed that the story was more about the kinds of creatures than really about personalities and plot. The characters were mostly annoying to me rather than interesting. I know many of my students love this series, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Świetna książka. Kocham wykreowany w niej świat oraz bohaterów, chociaż Seth dość mocno mnie irytował. Wkręciłam się w tą historię tak, że czasem ciężko było mi ją odłożyć. Myślę, że mimo, że czuć, że jest przeznaczona dla młodszych to spodoba się każdemu.
