I thought the world was well-drawn, though the overuse of the magical insta-heal is something that tends to bug me in fantasy novels and was certainly present here. I'll revisit this series, but maybe not immediately.

For the most part I enjoyed this book. I thought it was a decent start to a series. I really liked the magic used and think the Pokemon elements is what actually what made this book good. I could also do with less of the Ancient Roman influences.
