So far as I'm concerned, This is pretty much as good as YA gets. It holds up exceptionally well among all books I've read too. here is a small smattering of things that I loved about this book:
- The nature of magic, mental discipline, and physics all tie together in a reasonable, intuitive, and non-arbitrary way. The continuity of the world is not broken by folks waving magical wands to fix problems conveniently.
- Hartman has built a world in which smart people are rewarded for being smart.
- The characters are never suddenly incompetent for the sake of progressing the narrative.
- Every character has a reasonable motivation for their action. There are no one-dimensional or inexplicable actors involved in the story.
- The story is subtle and doesn't spoon feed you info, and yet you never feel lost either.
- The writing is so free of on-the-nose statements and cliches that it feels refreshing
This is a phenomenal read and highly suggest to everyone I know.
