I read through this book quite quickly and enjoyed. I then for the next 25 hour I could not stop thinking about it. The book can be read as a simple magical coming of age story. Or about overcoming predgidous. Or as a fantasy adventure. It can as be read as a critique of capitalism and castism. It has all the appeal of HP but without the sexism and morality tropes. While it has shade of dark like Garth Nix, Novik maintains her delightfully unique voice. I am greatly looking forward to the sequel.
