I read this book first as an audiobook for the first half and then as an ebook for the second. The audiobook is excellent.  The book itself is very enjoyable.
My only real quibble is that after all that buildup, the end was a bit of an anticlimax.  I wish that there had been more teamwork involved and that Sunny didn't just learn important info like a mcguffin at the very end.  It wasn't a bad ending, just that everything else was so detailed and hard-earned and the end was sort of a hand-wavey "and then it just works".
  I still plan to read the next in the series though!
