This was a quick read!
Not that that made it unpleasant. It was a very enjoyable book.
I really enjoyed the point of view that the book is written in. There is something to be said for 3rd Person Omniscient, however, except for short instances, I am not a fan. Getting to see all the mental and physical action is not how we experience life. For the most part we move through life with a 1st person point of view. We don't get to see what is happening behind the scenes elsewhere or concurrently with our own lives.
There are limitations on writing in the 1st person form, and his writing covers that very well. He makes his main character easy to understand and she is likable; considering her age, she doesn't act out as an adult, or understand the world the way that an adult does. She is very believable.
The book moves along with a good pace. There are no real low spots with too much exposition, and virtually no 'filler.' Everything that happens in the book needs to happen. There are 2 moments in 3rd person Omni, but that is fine... you need some explanation, after all. Not a great deal, but some.
This was a fun book to read, and I am sure I will continue with the series at another time.
Now, on to week #3!
