There's an assault planned on the school she attends for special students. The end Kassia is a girl that has the power to kill hundreds, perhaps thousands at a time. Several others are assigned to help her keep her powers in check, but then those powers are needed to conquer the typical I-want-the-world-under-my-control baddie.scene reminds me of the last episode of Buffy. Bows and arrows, martial arts, etc. No one thinks of getting their hands on some actual weaponry, and with their power of compulsion, plus probably some ties with those in power, they could have had lots of weapons. The attack time was relatively known, the attack pattern was known, the attackers were known, and so everyone defends themselves with bows and arrows, etc. No involving the government (the creatures posed a threat to the entire Earth etc.)To me this is very unrealistic. In a situation like this every bit of power that could be arrayed against the evil being and his minions should have been called into action. Plus, the final battle between Kassia and the evil one is over so fast it's almost unbelievable.Maybe 80% of the book was okay, but the rest was not.
