Lighthearted and fun, but the book has some glaring flaws in my opinion. Some plot devices do not make much sense at all, but I will not spoil them. The biggest problem I had with the book though is that it spends a lot of time on training and meditating to become stronger, instead of growing through experiences. In the way this is done, it removes any possibility of tension for most of the book.

I loved the beginning, and the final battle was great, but the middle of the book really drags on for way too long without any interesting plot points or lasting consequences.
