Despite the fact that yes, there were incredible amount of similarities to Harry Potter, the fact that Cassandra and Holly were able to conjure up a completely different story was amazing.

I loved the whole idea of being chosen to study magic. And even how Call wasn't the 'chosen one' but more ... the evil one I guess you can say. Also the diversity in gender/race etc was great. I enjoyed it and can't wait for the next.

So I liked the overall idea of the story. The main character (at the beginning) was great, I could connect with him. It was as he stArted ageing a felt at a loss for the story. I felt it could've had more pages to it, more drabs of information. Let the reader make more decisions perhaps.

But it was overall good as a quick read to get over my feels from the previous book. Not only that but the cover was so good I just couldn't leave it at the book store!

I think this has been my favourite so far of the first 3 books. And the movie was also always my favourite, so I can't wait to read the next book!

What I liked most about this is the number of Quidditch games in it -- and how Malfoy is more harsh than depicted in the movies -- and probably the story let out in the Shreaking Shack. The last few chapters were the best.
