At first I wasn't too sure about the characters in this book, but this story is about character growth through trials and tribulations. You eventually come to like the main characters--or at least I did. This is an interesting book in the sense that it is a fantasy novel written by an extremely Christian man who is well-educated in the classics. This book reads like a modern Lewis Carroll novel and I love it.

Set firmly in paranormal mystery, the perspective of the character--a reluctant but kindhearted medium whose life is driven by fate--is incredibly unique and the plot does throw you a bit of a twist. The author's strange way of describing the world will draw you in and even make you laugh. There is already foreshadowing of incredible character depth. If this is a series, and I believe it is, I will be reading the rest of them.
