Half Bad

Ah, Half Bad.

This really was a good book. I liked many aspects of it, and the sequel should be arriving any day now (maybe even today!). I suppose I'll start off with the bad, just to get it over with.

Overall, the pace was a bit slow. It was very exciting at the beginning and the end, but then it slowed down for a bit. I didn't get bored, however.

Now for the good...

The characters were executed brilliantly. Each had their own personality and were well distinguished. The main character wasn't 2-dimensional, and you just kept wanting to learn more about him.

As for the relationships, they were very interesting to read about. Each one wove around the others to create an intricate web of relationships that affected each other. Not to mention, each and every one of the relationships were developed in some way throughout the novel.

Overall, Half Bad was a fantastic fantasy read, and would be great read for many, many people.
