content: First off I would like to say that I like this book. It is a beautiful and original story. It just lacks contenuity, practicality, enough definition and maturity. The writing sounds to young sometimes. I can't really explain it.The story is marvelous and so great. The characters are amazing and lovable. That is why this novel should get a four.If you want a book that is more well rounded try, "The Seer and the Sword" by Victory Hanley or "Green Rider" by Kristen Britain.
