This book was a nice try. And that's me being honest. It has lots of clichés and annoying references to -ick-Twilight--to the point that they are painfully overdone. There are mentions of Harry Potter as well. I thought that would make up for those references, but it turns out to be a copy of HP as if our beloved boy wizard was female instead of male."One girl in the all the world who both sides want,"... Same old, same old. Been there, done that. Kind of getting old now.I only downloaded the book because it was free and I wanted something with a different approach to fantasy to read. There are a few spelling errors like using the wrong spelling of tale when you mean tail...but those did not distract me from the main story. Action scenes were plentiful and well written.I couldn't connect with Ryanne (who has a beautiful name by the way) though. Probably because she's 18 and I'm 25 LOL. She's another Bella Swan, the pretty chick who doesn't think she is and has two guys fawning over her once they realize she is magical. This is the first Young Adult book I've picked up in a year and a half. I didn't completely dislike it, but I didn't fall in love with it. After 63 ebook pages read out of 245 according to my Nook, I had to stop reading.
