Review: Ahh, one of the best books I've read in a while!

I absolutely loved it! The dry British humor, the excellent writing and perfect grammar, the twists in the story that I did not see coming (and I practically can always guess what is to come in books and movies)...it was a short read, but I think there is a sequel, so am very excited to read that.  It was wonderful, a very different world, taking an unusual look at magic, and was just a perfect read in every category.  I also loved the characters, their strength, how Crane just didn't care about anyone else's opinion, and did whatever made him happy, but was also a very good man; and Stephan, how he was so powerful, so kind, and physically small, yet such a great and upstanding guy.  And how they both held on to themselves, and didn't get carried away, even in their lust for each other, none of the insta-love crap that is so prevalent nowadays.  I could rant on and on about this book, because on every page it was beautiful, and I can't think of a single line that didn't add to the story or that was just filler, which is amazing hard to do.  I am going to savor this story, and wait a little to read the sequel, just so the anticipation will make it better.  Do yourself a favor and read this as fast as you can!
