Short version: Harry Potter meets Star Wars, written as a book for children.
Long version:
Characters:
Characters have little to no development. Overpowered male and female leads, and all supporting characters made sure to keep repeating said fact to male lead for good measure, just in case, you know, he missed it the first ten times they said it. Female lead borders on being Mary-Sue. Tons of characters.
Plot:
Engaging. Paced fast enough to not be boring. Didn't like how male lead went from depressed over the death of his mother to excited about a new adventure over a matter of a few hours. Seems like it's not much of depression, and more like a crap load of self-pitying (seriously, he literally went into self-imposed isolation and stopped attending classes altogether after his mother died and his grandmother did absolutely nothing to correct this behaviour). Male lead is aged 16years in the book but he acts like he's barely 12. - one moment, he's all serious because someone's trying to kill him and the next, he forgot all about it and start playing.
World-building:
Interesting enough.
Overall:
Despite my various complaints, this book was a rather fun and easy read. No doubt I would have given it 5 stars back when I was a kid. Recommended for children under 12.… (mehr)
