This was a pretty decent YA fantasy, this isn't really my genre as I'm not a fantasy fan but I enjoyed it for what it was. It was definitely not an original plot, but not everything has to be. It reminded me quite a bit of the For The Wolf/Throne duology. 

I definitely felt that the last quarter of the book had the strongest writing and I thought the ending was quite pretty. I definitely think readers of YA fantasy in general will enjoy this one, but I'm not sure it's adding anything unique to the genre.
