A first person narrative, telling the story of a seventeen year old girl who hails from an alternative familial background.
Esther appears to be a warm and genuine teenager, who despite her family's worries over everything in the world, manages to encompass some sort of normality - even a 'brutal mugging' doesn't faze her. She has an amazing ability to bring humour into almost any situation, with her multitude of costumes - disguises or personalities?
The writing style is quite youthful as you would expect from a seventeen year old's point of view and relies on some knowledge of youth culture. However, its ability to make fun of magic/the dark arts should ensure that this is an easy read for most. Overall, I enjoyed it and would like to know what happens next -are her worst nightmares confirmed?
