It's a little abrupt to start, and the MC is a little bit on the prickly side to start out with but she and everyone else quickly grew on me. This was hard to put down, and I had to make myself take breaks.

If you have a Harry Potter type itch, this book will do a great job of scratching it, with being a far superior story to boot.
