This blend of fantasy/sci fi/comedy was really good. There is a large cast and variety of characters that are easy to keep straight. I love flawed characters. The plot line was fun and serious. There were many twists, turns, and suspensefulness. I love the story line, which was fast paced. There is lots of killing, but not too gory, so YA friendly. Good intro to many adult themes. Great book that I can’t believe is a debut for this author.
