 The Good 
 Phineas & Brynley are a perfect coupling. 
 Has an unexpected plot twist at the end! (however unlikely it is.) 
 We get some long awaited back story on our two main characters. 
 The Bad 
 The lack of dr phang witty banter. He seems to have a rain cloud following him around through most of this book. 
 Took forever for anything to happen. The first half to third of the book I found my brain hydroplaning. 
 The villains were about as scary as my a grandma. (my grandma can be mean so I don't know how much of an insult was.) 
 Overall 
 Author writes an interesting story.
