Not the best book, but not that bad. It's probably a somewhat-accurate portrayal of a thirteen year old, but I never really got involved in the story. Was worth finishing, and the last big scene was fairly nicely done, but I won't be reading it again.

I also had problems with the ending--yes, it was nicely done, but ugh. It seemed to want readers to take away that castes are good. I am not convinced that the "good" guys were--look what they did to the Guilds! I think the book could be re-written from the view of the main character's brother and his side could be portrayed as the good guys--probably easier!
