I loved "Anathema", I really did, but "Sleepers"? It is quite possibly one of my favorite's books so far in 2011. Megg Jensen has done it again. She's crafted a world that will pull you in from start to finish."Sleepers" is a story about Lianne, one of three kids given to the enemy as a peace offering. She works in the castle, taking care of the Queen and her children. She's never fully accepted by the Fithians as she is of Dalagan blood, but she feels loyal to the Fithians. Until her sixteenth birthday that is. After her awakening, everything changes. Lianne must struggle to seek out the truth between the lies.Megg Jensen has crafted characters with flaws, characters that are believe and strong. Lianne is a fighter both physically and with her magic. She's nave at times, following her heart before thinking it through, but she never gives up in what she believes. She keeps fighting. Add those strong characters in with the wonderfully crafted world Megg's created and you have a fantastic read.I wasn't sure I could like "Sleepers" more than "Anathema", as that was an all around great read, but "Sleepers" is beyond amazing. As it is the first book in a trilogy, I'm eager to see where the story goes next.
