Wow I really wanted to like this book. I even read it twice to see what I was missing, but sadly I didn't like it.is the writing good .... yes. Is the story good?.... This is where I run into a problem. The story was a nice little fairy tale type vibe to it. But the whole book seemed forced as if it needed to be done in 3 weeks or something. Odd was a character that had no personality and was just a vessel like character to move the story along. 
 Everything moved too quick to enjoy anything in this story. In the about the author it says there are more tales for Odd, I really hope that those tales take the time to develop the characters into something readers can enjoy. 
 Maybe I missed something on this book, but sometimes people can be blinded by the author's name alone. 
 I bet I won't even remember this book in 2 months.
