I love the way this story is formed,there are constant flashbacks which help to understand the story more,I personally i've fantasy horrors,as they give you time to think and be frightened .The authors made a very smart move by not completing the story at the end of the book,it makes the reader want to continue the entire series.I'm only 13 and i'm a huge reader,meaning that most people my age would avoid such a long sand large series like this.The thing that makes this book capturing is that the peculiars don't use the powers to hurt or save the Earth,like most fantasy movies with people who have powers.I am starting hollow city,and I hope it is as good or even better then this one.I would definitely recommend this book to readers who love adventure,fantasy and slight horror.
