I really liked this book. Jared has a hard life and there are points he feels helpless but he is always trying to do something about it. The way he's always trying to take care of everyone resonated with me. He makes bad choices but is also prepared to live with those choices. The magical aspect was a bit surprising and I wanted a second book with a bit more explanation for this and to see where things would go, but this book is self contained and doesn't need anything else. I will be picking up more by this author.
