Very narrow audience. Boys 13-17 possibly. When the focus is on the characters it is a very good story. Sadly the fantasy is just awful--long descriptions of "mages" "ka" and "ba" that, while I see the underlying concept, are boring and too confusing--and then never seem to have a point as they don't pertain to the actual story line. Sorry if this is unclear, but the book was beyond confusing and if you are not 13 and wanting to have girls like you because of your super power, it is boring. Where is the mastery of craft we say in _Ender's Shadow_?
