The only reason I read this book was because I'm tired of people always being shocked when I say I haven't read the books yet. I watched the movies, and although the last few movies were interesting, I just wasn't a big fan. I always got the same answer, "The books are better, you'll enjoy those."

I didn't exactly enjoy this book. Though some parts were interesting, I just don't think I'll be the biggest fan of the series. Maybe because it's a children's book (I didn't even know that. Thought it was YA until the back of the book said Bloomsbury Children's Books).

At some point, I really didn't feel like reading it anymore (around page 170 I think) and I really thought about not finishing it and giving it another try another time, but I remembered a tip I heard about, listening to an audio book while reading might help. And it did! I finished it in only a few hours, and made me enjoy it a little more.

But don't worry, to any fans reading it, I will try to continue reading the series, although not immediately. Who knows, maybe other books in the series will convince me.

It's not like I hated this book. If I did, I would've given it 1 or 2 stars. I gave it 3 stars because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. I don't particularly dislike it, but also don't like it.

I can see why people like these books though, escaping into a fantasy world with magic, unicorns and dragons.
