Review: Action Packed Part Three!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 7, 2010
I really wasn't sure what to expect going into the third book in Jason Letts' Powerless series. Book two's ending brought a surprise turn and left me at sea regarding my feelings about the main character, Mira.Book three picks up right after book two and Mira's transformation is complete. She's hard now. Her friends stand by her, though, picking up the emotional slack as the classmates return to their small outpost town. They barely have time to catch their breath before heading out to the war front.Mira and her friends proceed on a great journey, both physical and emotional. The characters are all developing and changing as we follow them. We get more insight into some of the minor or new characters as well as more back story for our favorites.We're introduced to the enemy forces and their unstoppable leader in chaotic battle scenes filled with a blurring riot of powers clashing with powers. I found myself pulled into the melee, rooting for Mira's side and wondering at the ways the author has the two sides throw themselves into battle and the resulting carnage.At some point the destruction begins to snowball and I wondered, if only for a moment, if perhaps Letts had let things go too far.I can't wait to see where we go from here. Alas, I'll have to wait until book four to find out!If you haven't started reading this series, do yourself a favor and grab the first book.
