The Fourth World

At first I thought the book borrowed a lot from enders game. The main character was being bullied, being sent off to a far away school that had to do with space. Even the whole secret notes from teachers at the start of each chapter.

It quickly changed to a more harry potter feel for me, the 4 kids going on adventures and looking into secrets.

I'll admit, I loved the relationship between the two main characters, but I felt no attachment to any character at all. I didn't care in the slightest when people died at the end of the book.

I'll probably get the next book just to see the end of things. I find it interesting that the authors other books are all tech/programming books.
