I don't really know what to say about this book. It was entertaining. I was eager to finish it and learn what happens. But some of the writing was just not that great there was this huge big fantasy world and ball point pens were magic? A whole other set of history and lore and someone in the last chapter gives the middle finger--it came out of no where and just felt like an anachronism. A war school that doesn't care of 50% of each class dies and, in fact, sets them up to do just that, but then complains about the fact that their numbers are dwindling? Why does this school exist? What parent would truly send their child to it? I don't know. Whatever, I'm downloading the second book as we speak so I don't have much room to talk, I guess.
