This was a really fun read. It is structured in your basic 'magical middle grade quest' arc that fans of Rick Riordan will be familiar with, but Changeling and Neef are both characters and I love how they play off each other. I particularly liked how Changeling exhibited several kind of autistic behaviors...

This was a really good book and I enjoyed it quite a bit. While the english can be hard to understand in some parts of the book it had a story that really keep in into the story. If there is a second book I wanna read it soon. The reason I choose to read this book is becuase I saw it on the book shelf and I mistook it...

This book is an indulgence for me. It's like having toasted muffins with butter and peanut butter and a big mug of tea at ten o'clock at night. It's really an adult version of Twilight and just as compelling for me to read as Twilight is for a 16 year old girl. The first two books of what will no doubt...
