This should be made into a TV series.

The performance by Krissee Sorensen was very easy on the ear and the subtle switches between accents wasn't jarring and you felt you were being told a good story rather than listening to a recital. Very enjoyable.

The book itself is fantastic. The world-building is handled expertly, the rules of magic is explained in a way that you understand without having to make notes or ask a random stranger.
The characters are easy to identify with. No matter how wild their situations are you always get a sense of their humanity (even though they're not human!)
The book has a driving plot with a few twists that are deftly handled. The tension is just right and the funny moments don't just land with aplomb, they somersault and strike a pose while the judges hold up "10" scorecards!
The amount of suspense makes me think that it's ripe for a TV adaptation. It's a BIG story and only a full exploration that TV can get away with would do it justice. Just keep it to 10 episodes so I could get the gardening done after a weekend of binge-watching.

You can tell that the author had fun writing this, it really shines through. From the very first page, you just know you're going to be told a great tale.

I loved it. In fact, I loved it so much, as soon as I've finished writing this review, I'm buying the next book in the series. I can't wait to read it.
