Let's begin with the positive. The story and the supernatural elements were exciting. There were many times that I couldn't put the book down since I wanted to find out what happened next. The storylines make you want more and have you wondering how they will play out. Now for my criticisms. I should really criticize myself firstly for choosing to read young adult fiction. If it's not J.K. Rowling or C.S. Lewis, where the reader can be of any age, the storylines can risk being too immature for me to fully enjoy. The main female character in this trilogy got on my nerves as being too whiny! This is Book 1, so I'm hoping that she grows up before the end of Book 3. I will say that I enjoyed the character Finn, though. He and some of the side characters kept me reading. Another problem I had with the book: grammatical errors. There are enough that I've been highlighting some of the worst cases. Hopefully, the next two books won't be so full of mistakes! My final critcism is that I felt there were a few holes in the storylines, as if the characters or plot weren't developed to their full potential. I'm waiting to see what I think when reading the next two books...
