Okay, to be fair, I think a lot of kids would LOVE this one. It was exciting and twisty all the way through. The main character was a lot of fun. I couldn’t put the book down as I was reading it, even though I had quibbles with it here and there. But it pulled the same garbage at the end as the Queen’s Thief series does, and I just can’t stand that. If you don’t mind a twist involving the viewpoint character knowing something he doesn’t divulge at any point in the story, you’ll probably like this one too.
