I'm not a fan of the fantasy and magic genre so I knew almost immediately that this book wasn't going to be to my taste. I did read the extract but I didn't enjoy it and I can't say that I like the cover either. I don't feel like I'm in the target audience for this book - it seems more suited to teenagers than older adults - so I can only conclude that this book is not for me. On a positive note, it does seem well written and I liked the dedication at the start! I'm sure fans of this genre will enjoy it.
