I really enjoyed this book! I would also definitely recommend it to anyone that enjoys fantasy and young adult books. The only reason for the missing 5th star is that I don't think I would read this one again or continue with the other books in the series. I loved the storyline and all the bookish references, but it felt rather long-winded at times. And (my biggest peeve) there was some repetition. Ex. I didn't mark it, but I'm pretty sure I read something along the lines of "became silent like she suddenly swallowed her tongue" at least three times.
