Review: Loved It
Rating: 5 out of 5

Background on me: I read mostly Sci Fi/Fantasy, Adventures, Classics, and sometimes YA in those categories. I dislike horror and graphic violence. These books reminded me somewhat of Anne McCaffrey's Talents Universe series (particularly The Talent books 1 through 3).The book critique: The world is a new place, with psychic powers evolving amongst the populace. Our young heroine is intelligent and evolves throughout the story both in power and in personality. While she has romances, she doesn't have the sappy and degrading kind so common in YA where the character falls in love with an abusive vampire or something. There is some death and violence, but it is not very graphic; it is PG-13 stuff for the most part.I thought the storyline was inspired, the writing style is gripping, and the story doesn't get boring/predictable. The evil characters also are believable and have slightly more depth than I expected-- so many books have an almost unstoppable evil guy with no apparent motivation other than being crazy-evil.In downloading and reading dozens of ebooks in the month since I purchased my new Kindle, this is the first author that I have actually PAID to read. (btw, I was able to read the first book free because it was on free download, but had no qualms paying for the series-- I would have paid more!).
