My review of this book: I absolutely LOVED this book. I normally don't read science fiction but this is one of the best books I have ever read. Scott Westerfield's work is new to me but I fell in love with it immediately. Now I'm dying to read the rest of the series. I don't know what I'll do when I finish them all.
