Review: As Captivating as Stephenie Meyer's The Host, Well Worth Reading and Rereading

The universe portrayed in the Touchstone trilogy is one of the most unique sci-fi visions I've encountered. And the conflict that drives the plot is equally unique, unfolding revelations steadily over the course of the three books. Set against this backdrop are characters so real they seem the reader's own friends, particularly the reluctant protagonist, young Cassandra Devlin.The author's narrative powers are to be applauded, as well. As you accompany young Cassandra, you see the worlds she encounters--and the other dimensions. You feel the tension of battle against the fragmented and monstrous creatures of those realms.The Touchstone trilogy is truly one of my favorite reading experiences (as captivating as Stephanie Meyer's The Host, for example). I look forward to reading more by Andrea K Höst--and to rereading the Touchstone trilogy for the sheer pleasure of it.
