I thought this was a smooth and interesting read. I'm excited to have my niece read it. There are a couple parts that I feel just aren't needed at all. I don't feel they add much to the overall story, but I do see what the author was trying to accomplish.
Specifically the small interludes of the story. The lawyer, and the librarian, and the original girl's sister being affected does make sense, but I found those pages to just not add much. Even with the ending tying it all together. It just wasn't my favorite part.
 
Overall, the book was a fun read. It's really imaginative and has some really cool scenes that I enjoyed.
The dragon being one of them. It was very creative.
