Probably should have written a review when I read this a week ago but it says something that a week later I can't remember most of it. I liked Griffin but otherwise it was virtually a carbon copy of so many of the Arcane Society novels. Unfortunately I've felt this way about a lot of Quick's novels recently. It's well written, interesting enough to keep reading but not anything that I can't put down or will remember for long afterwards. Maybe worth picking up if you're a Quick fan but otherwise I'd say stick to the older books.
