I can't quite put my finger on what I didn't like about this book. The characters didn't feel fully fleshed out, for one. Maybe promoting itself as the next His Dark Materials (even the cover wants you to think so) set my expectations too high. I doubt I'll keep going with the series.

Even though I could predict the ending (of sorts) I really enjoyed this book. Excited to continue with the series.

Now I need a prequel so I can read all about Willie's childhood and early life. What a dame. :)
