Review: Surprising good and unique
Rating: 5 out of 5

I read a lot of fantasy.  And most of it covers the same ground, which gets painfully boring.  But not this book!  First, the author decided to create 13 types of affinities rather than the usual 4 or 5 (earth, wind, fire, water, sometimes spirit).  Secondly, he managed to not create another Hogwarts with the school experience.  Thirdly, he created a truly unique depiction of vampires....  AND on top of all of that he managed to create an interesting story and a main character you like in spite of yourself....  I've already gone out and bought the sequel and look forward to many more to come.
