I waited to review this one until I finished the sequel, Namesake, because I have almost the exact same feelings about both of them. So I will copy and paste my review from here, to there.
If I am remembering that I am reading this through the lens of a YA novel, then I would say that this is really good and I would recommend it for all of your YA's in your life. It's got action, romance, a fast paced plot, and a touch of magic.
If I am reading this through the lens of my current self who is an adult, I think it would have been great if these two novels were combined into one long one. I dont know why I can't get over the fact that this book ends on such a dramatic/stark plot twist. It made it more elementary to me... which is okay! Because it is written for a younger audience! But still! If I'm writing this review based on my preferences when I am reading (I am by the way. I always am. So you never have to worry about that faithful readers), I didn't like it and I think I would have given the one giant book made up of both books, 4 stars.
