While I would love to say that I found this book as enthralling as his first 4 books I can't. The book didn't come anywhere close to what I loved about his series. It is too bad as I loved Pyromancer and I think the main problem is that he should have quit after 4 books because the story was all told.
I just couldn't get into this and found the writing to be too juvenile for my liking.
