This is competently written fantasy for the modern young adult who wants a well paid, meaningful career with coworkers who aren't garbage, and also hates capitalism. This isn't really a criticism - I really enjoyed the escapism into an alternate earth where such things are possible - but I will say that I spent most of the book waiting for a central conflict and then quickly regretted it when it limply arrived for the climax.

What I'm trying to say is I liked the book for what it is, but it does have significant flaws that you should be aware of before picking it up.
