This story didn't seem to have Rish's usual flair. I kept wanting there to be an unexpected dark twist, but this story seemed pretty predictable to me. I also didn't find the characters particularly compelling. I've read a few things with little boy protagonists lately that have disappointed me, so maybe I just have trouble relating to that kind of character. I really like Rish's other work so I'm still looking forward to reading more from this author.
