Good Points
"I think it has a very clever hook and plays so well against a variety of genres -YA, fantasy, romance, sci-fi. It's a very tough balancing act to walk the tightrope of so many genres without slipping up on one of them, but I'll be damned if you didn't pull it off with aplomb"- Terry Goodman (Senior Editor at Amazon Publishing)
