The book is like a downhill bike ride from the beginning no signs of slowing down. It kept me hooked on, after a reading slump for four months and after trying hard to read the previous book, it was amazing to read such a interesting book. As said before it is like a downhill ride you could enjoy the moment and adrenaline but you could not have much detailed look into it and there is only focus on the path before you and not much focus on other things. Though the path is interesting if you wanna enjoy the beauty of the surrounding you cannot get that much in this book as there is no much descriptions and development in the character. This is very classical type of fantasy in which our main character does not know who he is until it is revealed and after it is revealed he is thrown into a quest and he has to complete the quest to save the whole world. Thus if you are expecting a different type of high fiction you are in a wrong place. It is a teen fiction so no complaints! I am planning to read the complete series.
