I'm really glad that I was able to start reading this series at my library, because it is really awesome! I don't mind at all that it is geared towards younger teenagers - I still love the humor. The atmosphere of the story reminded me a little of the Lockwood & Co-series by Jonathan Stroud, which is also one of my favorite series. The plot is suspenseful and the characters are hilarious. Even though the story focuses on the main character Valkyrie all the other characters feel fleshed out and complete. The shortness of this book is also refreshing. Sure, I love long stories, but here the plot would be stretched too far if it was any longer. It makes it easier reading in between the longer fantasy books that I usually read. All in all, I really like the series and am waiting to pick up the next one!
