At first i was a bit worried because this was a first person diary style book, which is a completly differnt style for the wonderful Ms Pierce but as usual she delivered. Its the perfect mix of realism found in all her books mixed with the magical fantasy.

The first person works really well the characters are wonderfully developed and the murder mystery aspect combined with the diary writing style makes it a wonderful read.

Overall engrossing and well worth reading for any fans of tamora pierce or any other fantasy style
