I did not have high expectations for this book, (hangs head in shame).
I only decided to read it as I was curious to see how she planned to break into the YA / teen market.
However, I admit I really enjoyed this book and now I do really need book two urgently.
No doubt some people could refer to similar books that perhaps are better, but if you want to read a very good YA / teen read with perhaps a moral undertone then I would most certainly suggest this one.
Recommended.
