review 1: This is my first Ian Irvine book. I glanced through some of the other reviews in order to get an idea of the general feeling of some of the readers. I have no reference for his other books, so, I can make no comparison there. Initially I felt as though the characters and story were 'thrown on the canvas in wild bold strokes' and I wanted a deeper more personal connection and in some places an explanation. As the story progressed, I became so intrigued with the originality that I basically scanned things I didn't want so I could get to things I did. My personal opinion is that this was a story that came so fast that he needed it to be written quickly. That's awesome, but with so many ideas and characters, it would have been OH so much better if it had been redone and refine... mored at least one more time. At some points a bit juvenile and repetitive, but not terribly. That being said, it did not stop me from wanting to read it to the very end and now, I'm in a hurry to get the 2nd one and continue the story. I look forward to reading his other works. p.s. LOVE the cover art!
review 2: This book had a really slow start before it actually got to the action. It was a really fun and interesting read, Towards the end of the book I felt like Tali not solving her problem was kinda drawn out. Just when you thought she was out of trouble she fell right back into it. From the beginning I had suspicion that Rix's parents killed her mother.... Just shocked that I was right. I really enjoyed reading it can't wait for the next book... really hope it is not so many pages. :) less
