Well. Wow. I thought I would like this book, but I didn't expect to enjoy it that much! Sure, it doesn't beat books like Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia, but it was really enjoyable! If I had to describe this book as if it were a person, I would say it was perky, fun, and intriguing. 
 The Good 
 There were soooo many unique ideas in this story! Fantasy books can have a lot of cliches, and of course this one has some, but there are plenty of unique ideas that help offset that. Moonrascals are awesome (can I please have one?), Falon was AMAZINGLY AWESOME ((view spoiler)[She can make herself look like a glittering maze? That's just plain cool! (hide spoiler)]), and I loved the idea of Glimpses. Lantern spiders, mortiwraith poison... I felt like there was a lot in this story that I hadn't seen before. 
 The world and the characters were really intriguing, too. Eyes flashing colors, Mallik with his Mjolnir-like hammer, Bolt and Nock... Captain Valithor was really cool, as were many of the other characters. 
 I loved how funny this book was! It was tense, but light, mostly because it's middle grade-ish instead of YA. It was a great relief from a lot of those fantasy books that are more focused on world and fighting and suspense and death and romance and such. 
 The Bad 
 Some of the characters could have used a little more development, and a few places were pretty predictable. But if you're look for a light, fun read, this is it. 
 The Ugly 
 Nothing truly bad here, mostly minor violence. (view spoiler)[Several characters we love die. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall, I really, really enjoyed this book, and had fun reading it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go read Winter. ;)
