Fairly predictable and similar to other books in its genre, but very well-written and fun to read.

3.5 stars

Not a bad book by any means, but way too similar to Daughter of Smoke and Bones, which is one of my favorite series ever.

For fans of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, this book will be like the squeal they didn't know existed!

           This book was great and awesome Echo is one sassy badass and it's awesome. I can't wait for the next book to come out and find out what Echo and her friends will find out next.

Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known. Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act. Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it. But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.

I really wanted to like this book, especially after adding it to my to read list on the recommendation of one of my students. It's not that I disliked the book. However, a good chunk fell directly into the "eh" category. It did not rise above but it also did not succumb to some typical abhorrent tendencies of YA fantasy. I definitely will not be reading the rest of the books in the series.

I can't work out how I feel about 'The Girl at Midnight'. I think I will only know when the time comes for the next book to be released and whether or not I decide to read it. I'm just not sure.
