My kiddo got into the Maximum Ride series and wanted to try this one out. I picked it up and figured while I had some time, I'd read it and then we could discuss.

For it's target audience of middle school aged children, it's pretty fun. It reminded me of Harry Potter some because of the witch/wizard thing and also because of the "the one who is the one" thing reminded me of "he who shall not be named". I liked the play on titles of popular artists and bands (De Glooming for De Kooning, Toasterface for Radiohead, etc). It's not as well written as say, Harry Potter or Percy Jackson series, but if you've got a middle schooler that like fantasy, they might enjoy this
