So I thought I'd try out a new review format to help keep my brain on track. Let's see if it works. First, a general blurb. 
 I super enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure about it, because I'd seen some negative reviews, and it was an impulse buy at Family Christian (we did have a thirty percent off coupon, which tends to spark impulse buys. ;) ) So I actually have a paperback copy of this one! *gasp* Also, there are potentially major spoilers inside the spoiler tags. You have been warned. 
 The Good (Things I loved) 
 -The setting. Friesen clearly spent a lot of time developing the world, and I love him for that. *applauds* 
 -The characters. I super-duper loved the complexity of some of these characters. 
 -The Wishers. I loved how the faith aspect wasn't banging you over the head. God is only mentioned a few times in the story, and Luca has no clue who it is. 
 -The Voice. He never said this was God/the Holy Spirit, but I loved it. Even though Luca was often an idiot and ignored the voice. 
 -The prologue. It fit in SO WELL with the rest of the book. I applaud Friesen for his amazingness. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 -Walery. I appropriately hated him eventually. 
 -When Wren said that the museum housed (paraphrase) "one female species of Rat", it popped out, because that was a really weird way to answer the question. Later, we find out she's a rat... Fridge Brilliance!!! 
 -The cave reference on the boat. That was sooo awesome! And Lendi picked up on the reference, too! <3 
 -Amazing Grace. So. Much. Excitement. That happened. It was just... I was so not expecting it, and I felt like doing a happy dance. :D

 The Bad (Things I didn't like) 
 -Luca. This is just a me-thing, I think, but I didn't connect too much with Luca. He was okay, just not amazing. 
 -The hair. Dreadlocks? Okay, I get that, but what's the difference between Topper hair and (view spoiler)[Rat hair (hide spoiler)] 
 -The Amongus. They were never really explained. What made them different? Also, their dials were a little confusing. And why could the Amongus stand on broken glass. 
 -The romance. This wasn't too bad, it was just a little unrealistic. Considering they knew each other, what, two days before their first kiss? 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 -Walery. This is gonna be a rant, people. Sorry. When Luca found out his house was burning, I saw absolutely no reason to believe Walery was part of it. Maybe he wasn't there because the Amongus took him! But Luca automatically thinks that Walery's on their side. Turns out he's right, but still... 
 -The not-so killing. Killing is called "undoing" in this book, but that's a side note. I was starting to wonder if Friesen had learned from Marvel and Joss Whedon, what with characters dying-not-dying. But never fear, because... 
 -The killing. He makes up for the above in the end. This is a good and bad part, I guess. But did he have to kill my TWO FAVORITE CHARACTERS??? 
 -And, finally... loose ends. We never find out what happened to Wren, Jasper, and the others who were below when the cave collapsed. And Phale!!! A quick epilogue could've tied that up. *sigh* 
 (hide spoiler)] 
 The Ugly (Things that made me uncomfortable ((sexual content, excessive violence, etc.))) 
 -Characters are killed. My favorites. But that's about all I've got. Bodies/blood are mentioned. 
 I hate saying this about a three-hundred-plus page book, but I serious wish/hope there will be a sequel. ;) I'm definitely going to check out more of Friesen's books.
