For me, I didn't like how the magic system popped up out of nowhere in the middle of the book, neither how everyone acted like its normal. The ending was disappointing and the adults didn't act like how adults would normally behave. In addition to the strands that were left dangling by the end of the story (like hornets past).(less)

Is this book good for a 9yo that reads at -at least- a 12yo level? Content-wise.

If you are over 20, you aren't the targeted audience, so don't read it, period. Confusing? Not for Teens and under. Some of you probably grew up with books like The Little Princess, Sherlock Holmes and other classics. Not that I don't like those, I'm a great fan of Sherlock Holmes... Just that it makes sense if you're over 20 and disliked this book. But why only 2 stars? And why did someone give 1?

Sara B Some people will always give bad reviews, for example if they were forced to read the book. Even the best books will have 1 and 2 star ratings.
