I quite liked it mainly due to the premise of the alchemy and the gargoyle. I liked Zoe, although she seems awfully scattered for someone that old. I liked Dorian (is that a pun on Dorian Grey?). I do think that Zoe should have been a bit more concerned about the murder, and finding the book that could save Dorian, than tracking down the stupid teenage boy. And Pandian really needs to tone down the whole vegan thing, that got old fast. Did I mention that Zoe is vegan? And she makes great vegan smoothies. Dorian cooks great vegan food. Vegan vegan vegan. Okay I'm done.
Otherwise, I think the series has promise - I see there are several more so I'll go on with it.
