A lot of people call the Children of the Red King a Harry Potter clone, but they clearly didn't read the book. Besides not everyone is magical and one book has more diversity than Rowlings entire series.
I picked up the audiobook as a way to stay awake during the long commute to and from work and it helped me pick up on a few jokes I didn't understand as a kid.
That being said though, I still do not understand what happened during the final battle, specifically towards Asa and Billy Raven. I'm not sure if it's poorly written or if I'm just not getting Britain's English phrasing.
