The Catalyst is a novella which is a prelude to the second novel in a series. When I first started to read this prelude, I thought I was not going to be able to continue as too much was referenced about the previous first novel in the series and I felt that I was coming into the middle of a story with no explanation to help me understand what was going on before. But the characters and plot that I could understand were intriguing, so I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did. I was completely drawn into this world, and I want to know more about it. The descriptions of the characters' thoughts and feelings were very realistic, and the premise of The Balancers and what they do is very interesting. I am planning on reading the first teaser and novel, and I will anxiously await the third one as well, and I hope that they fulfill the promise of a unique story line with well-developed characters that this novella depicts.
