4.5

I really enjoyed the banter between the main characters, it took the edge off what was quite a dark plot. The characters are all interesting and unique. There are some tongue in cheek nods to other books in the genre. There is a lot of violence in this book especially towards the end so even though it's middle grade may be a bit much for the kids at the younger end of this age bracket.
