I have to say that this was wonderful pretty much from the first paragraph! Which is a nice change from my last audiobook. It feels a bit like a really good roleplaying game session (pen an paper, not running around in the woods). The world is interesting, the action is good, the story is not too see-trough or complex. I like the description style - sometimes telling speaks better to the imagination than showing... the architects have gone for imposing and spooking... that gives me as the reader the freedom to imagine how the house looks rather than a half page long description that just makes me bored. I also like the modern feel to the fantasy world - it made it quite refreshing. 
 This is the first book in quite some time that I actually finished quickly. I will have to pick up the next one as well!
