I haven't been so thoroughly entertained by a book in a while! There is nothing remotely mind blowing about this book, but it was just so entirely solid. Memorable characters, exciting action, tension and careful plot building. I cannot wait to jump into the second book of this series. It reminded me of the fun I used to have reading when I was younger, and I felt almost nostalgic after finishing it. It really was a great book to bring me out of a reading slump.
