Another book I would have never picked up if it wasn't for my LJ book club.
This book was a very interesting concept and came with heaps of praise. While it was very interesting, there were parts that were very boring and slow. The first 1/4 of the book was VERY slow. I guess I didn't realize just how long these “fantasy for children” books can get.
There are lots of twists and turns though and the plot doesn't always go how you would expect. If I could give this 3.5 stars, I would.
I think if you're a BIG fan of fantasy, you will like this book. If you're just a casual fantasy fan (like I am), you may get frustrated with the slow plot.
