A fair story with some twists and turns. Characters are believable but certain aspects of them are repeated too often and others ignored for them to come truly 3 dimensional. Though not a lot is given telling us this story is part of a larger series with the characters, it is written as though you know the characters with vague references to past exploits.

Still it is a good book and fine for a teen audience. Battles are not to gory and intimate scenes not to detailed as to make it inappropriate for younger readers. Probably something like a PG rating would be appropriate. ( )
