I felt that the beginning of the book was a little childish with too many ‘slang' references. Apart from that, the story keeps growing in quality, and the last 5 chapters of the book really increased my curiosity for what's to come in the other books.

The 3-star rating probably is a sign that maybe I'm no longer really fit to read many Young-Adult books. I kept thinking that if some things were thought and written with a more mature audience in mind, this book would be better. (This is also the reason for my praise to be more focused on the end of the book, where the plot is better crafted, and violence escalates.)

Easy to read, imaginative, with potential: Recommended.
