Although the book seemed a little slow to start, once I got into it more I couldn't put it down. Definately a must read especially if you are on a tight budget and like books with a otherworldly type feel. Not what I would classify as a young adult read but then it depends on the reader and how mature they may be. Very different from Ms. Shaynes Wings in the Night series but definately worth a second look. Can't wait to read the second of the stories in this short series.
