This. Book. Is. So. Freaking. Good.Mr. Hayes,You done changed the game, son.If you prospective readers out there have any interest in fictional universes where individuals with powers are real, you will do worse than the universe that has been brought to us 9 out of 10 times. Genius work. I felt like Wayne's World-ing ("we're not worthy!", bow/scrape, etc., etc.) this book after I read it and saw there was a year 2 waiting for my greedy little mitts.The characters that were obtuse were meant to be that way. There's no Harry Potter/Percy Jackson style stupidity (where the main character is too stupid to sit down at the library and educate themselves about what they are dealing with), the things they know/don't know/research/didn't research make sense in-universe. It's explained about the lack of dissemination of information in a way that makes sense while not being stupid or painful.tl;dr - An excellent novel. Buy it.
