This is a very interesting start to the series and I'm sure it will get better as the series continues. 
 I must say that I did not like any of the main characters, the one character I did like was Theon. I had not connection to any of them and more often than not they frustrated the hell out of me. Like reach into the pages and strangle them. I just hate the way they all think and act, especially Cleo. 
 But I did like the world and the magical parts of the story. I think its building on something that can be very interesting and climatic. I look forward to the next book to further draw me into the story.
