A Sudden Light
by Garth Stein
I wanted this to be my most favorite book ever but it fell short. The magic was too unbelievable and the protagonist too quick to believe in it. The first half was like YESSSS. The 2nd half was disappointing (not because of the story as much as the writing, excitement, etc. fading off). I wanted more depth in the second half and a more wrapped-up ending. And the dialogue was laughably formal and mature for a 14-year old. Sigh.
