Query: excellent!

this book was great, although its not as good as the ones that follow it. i've read all the books up to the 9th one and am waiting for the 10th to come out now. the first one doesnt really get into what the others do, it really just builds the characters and stuff, which is great, but doesnt seem all that interesting when you read it... especially the first half, but i do highly recomend it, just dont stop after it, read the second too.
