I avoided buying this ebook for several weeks, thinking it was just another thrown together contribution to the well overgrown magic/monsters in the modern age genre.  Still, the comments on the product page looked good and the book was cheap so I gave it a shot.A really nice surprise - it was captivating and to a small amount memorable.  The author really knows how to tell a good story simply.  It definitely does not rise to an orson scott card level though nor is the writing near as good as you'd see from one of the veteran authors in the field.Still, for the first book in a series, this was amazingly good.  It would have been better if it went on longer though...I was just settling in to it when it finished.  I'll hope this does not continue.
