I need #2 right now! This was action packed and such a crazy world to get wrapped up in while reading.

Gute Idee schlechte Exekution. 
Es liest sich wie eine Einkaufsliste, statt einer Handlung. Informationen werden runter gerattert, auch während der ganzen “Kampfszenen”. Werde die Reihe wahrscheinlich nicht fortsetzen.

Loved this! Harry Potter on steroids! One con is that the chapters were really long but that's just a personal preference. Otherwise I can't wait for second book!

Have to admit that I liked this more than expected. I often avoid controversial books, but this one was available from the library. I didn't have much else to read, so I checked this one out. My favorite part was how nonchalant everyone was about the constant death . . . it's morbid, but true ;)

I also noticed that the version I read contained the infamous controversial line edited out of the newer editions. Much to ponder in terms of how much authors should be allowed to edit their work after publication. That said, in this case, it seems removing the line in question was the right call.
