While I struggled to get into this at first, once the plot picked up a bit I had a fun time!

This was a fast-paced, high stakes young adult adventure packed with action, humor, teenage angst, and tension.

WHY IT WASN'T A FIVE STAR READ TO ME

There were a couple of things that I didn't particularly enjoy in this (mostly the logistics) but I'll chalk it up to this being a fantasy book with teenage characters, they act and reason accordingly. 

I definitely rolled my eyes at some of the corny jokes and the overall ridiculousness of a few of the scenes but nevertheless I was entertained, and glad I stuck around until the end.
