This was a well written book although not quite what I'd expected from the description. I liked the characters and the plot was fairly gripping and kept my attention throughout.There were a few moments I found myself thinking this is a little too close to harry potter and had I known how much magic was going to feature in the book I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I was expecting things to be more about actual magic trick style shows but the author is obviously talented so it's a personal issue with the book.I'm tempted to check out the sequel despite not being a big fan of the magic genre because I do feel attached to the characters now and do want to find out what happens to them next.
