This book is more like a 3.5 star but I couldn't give it the 3. It was a cute little book about three friends who are looking for adventure and quest. I liked the book I did not love it. I do think this book would be great for someone around 12 to read since that is the ages of the characters in the book. It was wrote very well and would be easy for someone younger to read and understand. I still love holly black as a writer and think this was another good book by her, not my favorite but it was decent.
