I love both the idea and the execution here. The moral dilemma of Wills gifts makes for an intriguing premise, and his reluctance due to his complex family situation and, well, being a teenager only enhances things. When you're talking about creative teams whose names will immediately draw me to a book, Romboli and Zanfardino are right at the top of the list, and this looks set to be another cracking new series in the making. A fascinating blend of moral dilemma, coming-of-age drama and magical fantasy. Well worth a look. Read Full Review
