4.0

This was fast-paced with a fun magic system. I think there was so much plot it really felt like it pushed out some other things, but I still had a good time reading it, and maybe the things I felt like it was lacking in are fleshed out more later in the series. I think it would be great for a kid looking for an urban fantasy read, and would definitely recommend it for that!
