Moving right along from the end of the first installment, the plot thickens quickly. All is definitely not as it seems. I have some guesses that can't be discussed without tossing out spoilers. The story is too short for any debate of the plot. It's certain, though, that Jed's life is getting more complicated by the hour.That point is my only issue with this otherwise engrossing story. Jed is in the hands of a group of rebels that are prepared to risk their lives to ensure that he completes his journey safely. But no one will explain anything to him, as though they don't think he's quite smart enough to understand. He's told time is short, but everyone around him seems to have plenty of time to discuss everything but Jed's situation. This irked me. I saw the rebel group as slightly annoying rather than heroic.That won't stop me from reading the rest of Jed's story, though. I want to see if I've guessed right about a couple of things. I'm actually hoping for surprises. It's a very unusual story, well worth reading.
