I adore Garth Nix as an author. His Old Kingdom series is one of my top faves. Unfortunately, that has me comparing every book he writes to that series. I am always looking for that magic that I found in that series. This book was fun, adventurous, creepy and an all around good time but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I think the biggest part of it was one of the main characters, Susan. I didn't quite bond with her and at times didn't even like her. Towards the end I felt more of a connection but my perception of the book was already tainted. Other than that, it was a great book with a wonderous story. It ended neatly with a possibility of a second book which I would look forward to.
