• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

 I absolutely LOVED this book. As an avid reader, I seek out stories that have continuing characters because when you fall in love with a character, you never want their story to end. The first draw to me was that this is a series, the next was the fantasy aspect. I think sometimes "fantasy" can get a bad rap; I enjoy stories that take ordinary people and give them a touch of the extraordinary, which is exactly what B.E. Padgett did with this story!
This book probably falls under the teen/young adult category, in terms of audience it was written for, but I enjoyed it just as thoroughly as I do books "written for me" (meaning my age group). I have a son in elementary school, and although the Reed boys are a bit older than my kiddo, I easily could see my son and his friends as the characters in this book, and that added to the fun!

So very much looking forward to book 2!
