I mostly liked this book. I found it to be wildly uneven and highly derivative -- started in a Potter-influenced mode, veered into Golden Compass territory, and ended heavy on the Narnia, with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth -- and it did not live up to George R.R. Martin's blowhard anti-Harry Potter blurb on the back cover. But even still, I was pretty hooked, and wanted to find out what happened next. Someone below said Q was unlikeable, and he was in many ways, but I also empathized with him. I will read the next in the series -- I want to see where Eliot ends up!
