This story is so much more than a fantasy adventure, as it explores what it means to confront the terrifying history of your own family, discover secrets about the ones closest to you, and the realization that you may be destined for so much more than you ever thought...The world-building is fantastic. The action scenes are great, as are the interactions between Drake and Kelsie, the two protagonists. The dialogue is full of wit and humor. The pace is spot-on and kept me turning the pages quickly. I enjoyed the combination of supernatural, dystopian, and romantic elements, but at its heart, this is a true adventure story, and the author developed it superbly.This book was re-vamped and lengthened for publication by Scotlyn Ink, and as someone who read both the original book, and this new version, I can say that while I really liked the original, I love this version. Splinter has a whole new level of emotional depth and character development. I enjoyed being able to identify with Kelsie and Drake in a whole new way, as the author gives us new insight and a deeper connection to the characters.I thought this book was exciting, and would be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
