I'm not really a fan of modernised fantasy novels but I actually really enjoyed this. For a fantasy novel set in present time and for a young adult novel to boot it really was an enjoyable read. I was surprised at how enjoyable. In fact I can't decide if I want to rate it 8/10 or 9.
I think it made a difference that some of the characters were about real people that had existed at some point in time and the fact that it's told by day rather then over a period of time makes it more interesting. Just goes to show how much can happen in one day. I'm interested enough to see how the next one in the series pans out.
