So, first off, this book did take me a bit to get into. However, once I did I couldn't put it down!
A lot of it reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it has such differences of both storyline and characters that it's not at all a copycat story.
I loved the different types of magic, but also the reality of the distrust of things unknown. I see that so much in our world that it was refreshing to see it in a book. I also loved the action, adventure, comedy, and romance that were in the book.
Definitely a read I'd recommend to any Fantasy lovers! Also, if you like stories involving princes, sorcerors, and library attendants this book is for you! It was also very clean however, warning, there is a scene where someone is abused.

I really liked it as a start to a series. I am giving it 4 stars bc i actually enjoyed it but it wasn't my favorite and the action seemed to all happen in the last 5 chapters. Some of the relationships rub me the wrong way but that's to be expected. I'm hoping the next book can bring my rating up for this series as i have high hopes!
