I loved "I Wish." I just wish I could get my hands on the next book! I can't wait for the sequel. It reminded me a little of Lev Grossman's "The Magicians." (Except "I Wish" was more entertaining).The main character, Thistle, is a sassy, strong and independent seventeen-year-old girl that kicks butt. She is also naive and vulnerable. Sort of a Katniss Everdeen type of character. I appreciate the way she struggles to adapt when her world is turned upside down. Her bumbling attempts at romance and poor judgement of male motivation is spot on accurate for this complex character.The plot twists begin almost immediately so to avoid writing any spoilers, I can't say much about the story. There are a couple of steamy hot scenes, a love triangle, a mysterious villain, magic, reverse gender discrimination, dangerous inter-family politics and life threatening situations that kept me turning pages when I should have been sleeping.I highly recommend this professionally written and well edited novel.
