Too rushed. Up to about page 50 (the book has 132 pages) it was not very interesting, then it got enjoyable until the contest. Why put a contest in the story if you can't really know anything about it? And it was supposed to be the highlight of the year. And the final duel? Rushed and lame. If there are any other books in the series, I'm not going to bother with them. It could have been a good book as there were some good ideas, but they just fall flat.
