disappointing
I agree with the previous review. While the book does have a few fun moments of adventure, they are not realistic, the villain is cartoonish, and much of the history is wrong.
Read a better series instead.

disappointing
This series starts out quirky and fun but follows a downward spiral. Lots of destructive behavior is presented with few realistic consequences, especially as you get further along in this series. I was bummed to have wasted as much time reading this one as I did, there are lots of better options out there.
