Opinion:
I really enjoyed this book, it was very interesting and there was always plenty of suspense. Usually in most book series, the first book has to incorporate a lot of information to paint a picture for the reader as far as what this world is like that the characters are living in. This book does that, but is also keeps the story moving in a way that doesn't bore the reader. This world that the author created fascinated me very much. The different kinds of creatures and places were great, and they also were new and oringinal; this book was definitely not another Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings as far as the setting of the story. I found the ending very intriguing, and it was a great way to set up the next book in the series. Overall, Reiffen's Choice and its sequels have great potential to be in the ranks of some of the best fantasy books ever.
