Review: The Author does show promise

I agree with what many other reviewers have said about the inconsistency of the world and science in this novel. It is a bit strange to have them talking about airplanes and space ships in what appears to be a medieval fantasy setting - did I forget to mention building a personal helicopter?Another failing that I see in the book was how like a very large number of books in the so-called "Young Adult" genre it portrays adults as being unintelligent sometimes goofy side-kick like characters. It is possible to write books in this genre that show adults as intelligent mentors and role-models without weakening the main(teen) characters.
