Review: The Academy, an excellent start to a new series.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Troubled young Alex unknowingly stumbles into an epic fight between the Weir, a homicidal werewolf species,  & a futuristic Operative intent on protecting him. This moment spring boards him into an entirely new life and future revolving around these fantastic elements.Here is what is great about The Academy: a strong plot based around Alex's coming of age and power. Additionally, the back story, the Auditors & Operatives, and the various faction cartels all add up to a surprisingly deep & unique story weaving high-tech, fantasy, mythology & psychology.Here is what is not so great about the Academy: Typos - if they make you quiver with rage, then please, please walk away now. Multiple typos on the same page, even as extreme as misspelling a city's name (Pittsburgh, not Pittsburg).Add the bad to the good and you still end up with a very enjoyable series with a lot of heart, passion, and story to tell.
