I was positively surprised by this book, since the YA genre has let me down too often recently. The main character was nicely rounded and fun to follow, the characters and the world were rich (enough) for a standalone, the different quests that the characters took to reach the end were interesting and fun to follow. My only strife is with the ending. Of course the ending was expected, but for me it needed to be more dramatic; with more emotion and less convenience. The ending of the mystery was actually the least exciting and least interesting part of the book for me, which should not be the case. Apart from that, I really enjoyed the read and will happily read more from Lucier.
