I truly enjoyed the story, enough so that I bought the next 2 books. Enough mystery, character development and events to keep it fresh and interesting. Would easily have given it 5 stars if it weren't for the following;The book and from the first chapters the later books as well, would seriously benefit from an editor and a thorough proofreading.1. The young subjects at the entrance exam are given a written essay test. Yet later the author makes a point of stating that most if not nearly all cannot read and write.2. Complete confusion of synonyms throughout the books, seamed for seemed, there/their, etc...3. Suffixes missing and tenses confused, every so often the text would have a block where all the 's', 'er', 'ed' were missing.4. A few instances of words missing or misordered.
