на первой странице издания написано, что это просто таки next big thing after harry potter
so i was like - WHAAA...???

но нет, друзья мои
this book is a mess
тонна артефактов каких-то, несколько storylines, картонные персонажи вдруг откуда ни возьмись, сексуализация одиннадцатилетних девочек, дети убивают злодея, отряхиваются и бегут в школу

harry potter my ass!

я с ходу назову пачку книг, которые способны претендовать на это звание, но вот эта вот лажа тут и рядом не стояла

I was so pleasantly surprised when I found this at the bookstore. The cover drew me in, and after reading the blurb, I was sold. It took me a while to get used to the writing though, but the story was so wonderful, so well-thought and enchanting, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next installment!
