I had no idea what to expect of this book. I figured it was a children's book that was very popular but I did not expect to enjoy it so much. It was a mixture of some of my favorite books such as the Lord of the Rings and The Name of the Wind but obviously geared towards young adults. A great read that I would recommend to people of all ages. (Also very impressive that the author was only 15 when he wrote it. Not to say that he is the next Tolkien by any means but pretty good for a teenager.)
