Okay, so props to the author for trying to be original, but honestly is the kind of book I think I need an EMBARRASSED TO HAVE READ THIS shelf. Again.
Also, here's another book with a ridiculously named female character (sorry to all you named Laurel out there; I do think it's very pretty, but it sounds like one where the author was so worried about picking a name for her character that she forgot to write a real personality in as well).
I just feel like the concept was very beautiful and the execution poor. It might have been good if the plot was completely different without the usual young adult theme of LOVE TRIANGLES *gasp* I didn't even bother to read the following book.
In any case, good read for someone in late middle school who likes fantasy and is willing to lower their standard for a novel or two.
