This was the best YA book I've bought in the last year (That wasn't by an author I am currently already reading that is) is was interesting with a lot of difference and the characters rocked. It felt a LITTLE like that dumb series by Claudia Gray, but SO MUCH BETTER with witches instead of vampires. I can't wait for the next installment. 
 UPDATE:Could barely get through the first like four chapters of the sequel. Have abandoned the series for being a first book fluke and the rest total crap.
