loved it, this book is fast paced and well worded, to understand it fully it might be best to read it twice as i did and enjoyed it both times. not the most thought provoking book ever but definitely good

What Parents Need to Know
About Fly by Night
Parents need to know that there's some violence, though not terribly graphic. For much of the book, the main character's ethics are questionable at best, though she does shape up toward the end.

- Families can talk about the complex plot. What are all the different guilds, and why are they fighting? Were the Birdcatchers good or bad? What about Eponymous Clent? Mr. Kohlrabi? What does Mosca guess wrong and what does she get right?

a terrible book
I absolutly hated this book. It was complete torture reading it. It was long, confusing and it was kinda stupid. I could not understant some of the meanings the author used.

Could Be Skipped...
I found this a bit confusing and I tended to drift on and off with the plot line. It was a little boring for me but I can see some of my friends definitly reading it.

Umm........ lost
I understood the book fully but when i gave a signed copy to one of my friends she was totally lost. She said it was confusing, hard to follow, and to fast paced.

Ugh
Usually, when I read books, I remember at least some of the plot, and if it's good, all of it. I couldn't even think of who the main character was till I read CSM's review. And I remember being so confused, always thinking "Wait...who's he?" or "What just happened?" Definitely not worth reading.
