I mean, geez--that's just asking that the poor kid get bullied!  Joking aside,  I find it hard to believe that this book was a debut novel by the author.  It was a seriously good Fantasy.Although the main character is a teen, this is not for the very young, since there is strong language,violence, and sexual references.  However, it does give a strong message to both YA readers and adults about discrimination and bullying, so I'd be tempted to encourage my young teen (if I had one) to read it;  you'd have to judge for yourself.Good writing style and character development, decent action and world-building.  I could have wished for a longer book and a more exciting ending.  But at least the abrupt ending wasn't a cliffhanger, so I'm happy.  I'm interested enough to go on to Book Two.
