This book was really really great. Like fantastic and exactly what I was looking for when I set out to read it. Sort of a realistic-fantasy type of deal, where it takes place in the real world but has fictional concepts that are preestablished. Really fun read, with a pretty pretty good ending, not fantastic but still great. The middle half of the book was absolutely a blast and I loved it a whole lot. Minus .5 stars for extremely gratuitous animal violence. Why was there so much animal carnage. Felt unnecessary and not fun. But I did really love this book otherwise.
