Query: I'll be diplomatic

I will be diplomatic about this book as it appears there is a huge division between the lovers and the haters of it. I will say that I found the premise exciting, I liked the magic in it, but I found it rather bland. I didn't get a feeling of excitement. It seemed all so proper. I waited for Niclas (and I found the spelling of his name rather annoying) to really jump out at me and he never did. Neither did Julia. There were other characters I thought could have their own books, but if the next one isn't more riveting, I doubt I will bother with any more.
