There is nothing novel about the story. A 13-year-old boy with amazing powers learning to control them, cartoonishly evil villains, a ragtag group of misfits as friends. But the setting. The setting is where the worth of this book is. So rich, so beautifully considered, it's here that we see all of the work.

I just wish it was enough to keep me engaged
