I liked this book, and my favorite part was when they find Artime. My favorite character was Lani, and I also liked Simber the cheetah statue. The thing that surprised me most about this book was when Aaron didn’t join Alex in Artime, and when The Unwanteds were sent to Artime.

I didn’t like the third-person writing style very much, since it jumped around from person to person instead of having one chapter for each person’s perspectives, which I would have preferred and would’ve made the story more enjoyable to read.

Got about halfway in, and I'm calling it quits. This one isn't for me. I just don't really care about the story or characters, and life is too short. :)

This is such a fun book to read; I've read it several times by now, and I always enjoy the time I spend in this world. Perhaps it is a bit cliche and an easy read, but it still creates a beautiful, magical story with well-written characters.

More "The Giver meets Harry Potter" than "Hunger Games". A bit cliché at times but an overall entertaining YA read. I found the little romance distracting.
