This book was a real surprise. I did not expect it to be this good, but it REALLY is! It's a really interesting concept, well thought-out and well executed, which is rare. It's quirky and even goofy at times, but it's thoroughly lovable. The characters feel three-dimensional and well-conceived--I really did come to care about each of them. As you can see, I all but inhaled it, because the plot was very compelling, as were the character arcs.

I am eagerly anticipating a sequel!
