"I am not usually a big YA fan, but in this instance I am actually glad I didn't know it was YA when I started because i would have missed out! This first novel (of 3) reads more like a magical action/adventure fantasy-meets-urban-fantasy where the main characters just happened to teenagers. There's blessedly few clichés, zero Love Triangle, and cheerfully imperfect and completely human characters who are just trying and make the best of the hand Destiny has decided to deal them. And they really aren't at all happy about Her meddling, either. "
