This was a very enjoyable book. The premise of the story, the imperfectness of Aelis, and the intrigue of the mysteries Aelis uncovers throughout the book have certainly made me interested in the next book. If you like Dungeons & Dragons, Dragon Age, and sword & magic adventures, I think you'll enjoy this book.

A solid book. I enjoyed the unique narration style with the ‘we.’ It reminded me of ‘The Buddha in the Attic,’ another novel dealing with a unique culture dealing with the United States.

She turned him into a library?? I'm sure there's some symbolism in there that I might reflect on, but I did not expect her to turn him into a library.
