I thought it was a bit boring and had to fight to finish it. They didn't really do anything. The kids in this book seem to only jump to conclusions and have no way to prove or disprove the moral standards of the villain or even their supposed rescuer. It's simply a frustrating book that feels as if it was cut off abruptly because the author wasn't quite sure about what to do with the plot line.

It just seemed like through half the book Reason was all tired and falling asleep. What I also had a problem with was in the chapters from Reasons point of view, she seemed smart and logical but from Jay-tee's point of view she switched to somebody who came out to be not so bright. I also didn't like how half of it was just them walking around Manhattan. And plus the Villain (I forgot his name.) didn't seem that evil to me, he didn't really do anything. Except drain magic from them but other then that NOTHING! And Tom sometimes creped me out. But it was still good enough for me to want to get the next books! I thought this book was okay.
