This book's premise is definitely attention-grabbing, and thankfully, it doesn't disappoint.What's best about the novel is the atmosphere, almost the little world he builds in Kalos, an academy for the highly gifted. The descriptions are well done, never overtaking the plot. As the story progresses we really become immersed in the school. The characters, for the most part are well written, with Tony (the protagonist) being the most thought out. Some of the other, side characters, though, are left a bit underdeveloped, which is a shame since they all seemed like they could have had really interesting side-plots.There are some unresolved plot points which left me wondering a little. Maybe the author is setting up for another book. That's probably it, but I still felt like they should have been at least touched upon a little bit more to give us a better sense on what'll be happening in the next installment.This is a fun story, and I do recommend it to teens and even fantasy-loving adults.
