Convince us to read the book: That the book is totally awesome (even though it has its boring moments, but all books do) and it is a must read if you are into fantasy.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: There were lots of compelling moments that makes one goes, "OH MY GOSH!" and feels the embarrassment Sophie does. But overall the most compelling part of the book was when Sophie discovered what Archer really was.
Did you finish: Yes
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: [galley cover does not match cover shown above] The cover did tempt me to pick up the book. It was just black and white, simple, but it caught my attention. It didn't really reflect the contents because the protagonist wasn't as simple as the book cover.
