I loved it! My favorite book of the year so far! 

Some parts of the story were obvious and guessable, but I loved that because it gave me a feeling of nostalgia, which was strange for a new story and new author. 

The first 50 pages or so were slow, but once I was hooked, I couldn't put it down! I don't think I have this much fun reading a fantasy series for the first time since high school!
