This is a very fast-paced book from beginning to end.
Alek was a little hard to like at first as he is a bit whiny and is a debbie downer. However, he quickly becomes a great character as the story progresses, and he gains more confidence.
I am really looking forward to the next book to see how Benny's story develops. He has a lot of rage in him.
This book contains elemental magic as well as shifters, elves, goblins, etc.
It was hard to put down.
