This book was amazing. The way it paralleled, poked fun of, and paid homage to classic children's fantasy was masterful and evocative. The main characters journey, first from hedonism, to action, to weariness, and finally to sacrifice are is told believably and with meaning. Some of the writing even directly matches with what you'd see in something like Narnia. Seriously, read the first couple of pages as it describes what happened in a previous book and observe how the sentence structure is similar to a series like Narnia explaining the same thing.
