This is not normally the kind of book I pick up to read, but wanted to see what the content was like before letting my son read it. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It's definitely geared toward a more pre-teen/teen audience, but I didn't find the content juvenile. It was an exciting story with characters you care about. My one minor complaint is that sometimes the descriptions of places felt like they went off the rails a little bit, making it difficult to draw mental pictures of what I was reading. I know there is some controversy surrounding similarities with this book and Lord of the Rings, but I am unbothered by that. Despite some oddly similar names, the book does not seem to me to be the same story that Tolkien weaves in LotR. Sure, it has similar themes, but so do a lot of stories. Definitely looking forward to reading the second installment.
