Zero Sight is a no holds barred roller coaster ride of a book. The main characters are deep and plausible, and the author is an excellent story teller. The magic system is explained adequately without noticeable info dumps and is well integrated into the story. The author doesn't shy away from or sugar coat the violence that occurs, but doesn't glory in it either.Zero Sight is a book about a low income inner city scholar who is just trying to score a scholarship to a good college when things spin rapidly out of control. He is forced to both learn and grow quickly in order to stay alive and makes a few new friends along the way. The romance is touch and go for reasons that become apparent to the reader.My biggest complaint about this book is the editing, and the fact that this book has been released for some time and the author has not felt any need to correct the frequent errors contained within. If you can deal with some annoying typos, and a modicum of violence, I'd recommend this book.
