I don't know what to think about this book. It was cool and a little bit boring at the same time. All the talk about turning and it was not that big... I don't think I will be reading the sequel. Still enjoyed it though.

4.5 This book could have benefit by an extra 100 pages. Otherwise, great concept and characters!

So here's the thing... I saw this book in B&N and the cover blew me away. I picked it up, read the back cover and began to sweat profusely, for you see I also incorporated a variance of the Unseen World (as the Blind World) in my own writing... Talk about originality...
Then I read this book and oh boy this is good. This is better than anything I will ever write, and I am not even mad. I can't be. This book has a bit of all, and just in the right quantities. Can't recommend it enough. Kat is as exceptional as advertised.
