Gansel has a problem, she wants more out of life. She wants to go to school, grow up to be anything but the washwoman's daughter, and be able to choose her friends without worrying if the Assembly Underkeepers will take them away in the middle of the night.
The Necrosopher's Apprentice is chock-full of intriguing characters, intricately-woven plot arcs, and an incredibly crafted world that comes alive in your imagination with the turn of each page. Dark and foreboding when it needed to be, with a cast of characters you genuinely cared about. I felt their pain while reading, laughed along with them during their times of escape from their world as it changed. I rooted and cheered for them, screamed and yelled with them. There were times where I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!
