I was really surprised how much I loved this series (and I'm anxiously awaiting the third one called "tether"). Ember is such an interesting character, a lot of teenagers can relate to her. She feels hopeless, lost and like she doesn't belong - but she slowly learns strength, determination, self confidence and courage! She's written as a true teenager, one who still falls victim to naivety, lives emotional teenage romance, does thrift store shopping, but more importantly, deals with a mentally ill bi-polar mother. A very real, troubled home life. I love her mother though, and how much she clearly loves her daughter. Manic or not. Follow her through her journey of finding herself in time to save the world!!!!! I LOVE KAT too! The gorgeous one that all girls wish to be - but she's the best personality, friend, and protector. Taren acts like the typical guy, leaving us with high emotions, confusion and a what the heck feeling :)
