Overall, this was a pretty good book. It reminded me of Harry Potter, but it was much darker. The friendship between Orion and Galadriel was really cool to see, and it was interesting how she humbled him, I totally ship them. The problem I have, is that it lacked an overall plot line - it felt like a perquisite knowledge book for something later on in the series. I wasn’t bad, but I thought it could have major improvements.
