I can’t even begin to rate this book. There’s a lot to like. Gideon has a unique, very entertaining voice. The magic is all very cool. The interplay of characters is complex and intricate. But I am so confused. Lol. I will say that if an adaptation were ever made (for some reason i think an anime-style thing would work really well) I would totally watch it. At the moment, though, I’m really on the fence about whether I want to continue with the series, and I can’t quite put my finger on why I’m so reluctant.
