Så himla bra! Lite smått seg i början kanske, men oj så spännande. Så fort jag läst ut den beställde jag bok 2 och 3 också, ser verkligen fram emot att läsa dem. Väldigt bra karaktärer, och författaren skriver väldigt bra så att man håller intresset och spänningen vid liv hela tiden. Och jag måste säga att slutet var väldigt oväntat samtidigt jättebra.
