OK -- a great early Christmas present  in a new book from Honor that introduces some delightful new characters, and is also quite a bit longer than many of her works so you have a lot of entertainment.  On the down side, and I will admit that I have a hard time ever finding one with her stories, I have to agree with Matt in that I wanted to hear more about the Artifactor and not quite so much about Bel.  I don't do spoilers so that is as far as I'm going on that one.  It is still a great read and one that will keep you up late to finish it (it is now 2 AM).  It has the usual amount of humor and the characters feel human and alive, even the non human ones.  It is clearly young adult fantasy and perfectly save for any and all ages so feel free to give it to your kids.I recommend it, and will, as always, keep encouraging Honor to get working on the next book in the series.  Buy this.  You will like it.
