I kinda figured we were heading this way (and the cover is a massive spoiler), but I still enjoyed the ride and think that it will appeal to many of its middle grade readers target audience.

Things to like: humor, science (of sorts), pathos, the thief/wizard parallel is cool

Things to meh: Rowan once again needed more and better (I realize that it's not her story, but still...); Embre subplot should maybe have been developed just a bit more
