Rhusicans. The verses of these people have almost a magical effect on people -- this would be like people reciting bible verses to effect healing. The concept is intersting, but the writing is only fair -- I almost gave up on reading it. Show Less

Wow! This book! I loved it. One main thing that stood out to me was its originality. It was unlike anything else I have ever read! The fantasysci-fi genre is so chock-full, often times it seems like I am reading the same book over and over, just with a slightly different premise. Not so with this
I also liked its "cleaness". There was no annoying, impure guygirl relationships, what violence there was was not graphically described, and there was no language. Although, even with its "cleaness", I wouldn't recommend this book for young teens or children, just because of some "thematic material".
I also liked how the main character was married. This sounds weird, I know, but bear with me. Oftentimes, it ends up being girl meets guy, they work together to solve the problem, end up falling in love along the way, boom, get married. I am not a fan of overly romantic stories, so I appreciated Mark and Susan's wholesome marriage. I loved how they knew each other so well, and the way they worked together to solve the problems. They reminded me a lot of my parents.
I loved the character of Kieren! He is such a grizzly, apparently heartless bear on the outside, yet you know he has a heart. I loved his love and care for his sister (I am blanking on her name), even though he didn't know how to show it. I also loved his and Tristan's relationship.
Overall, great book! I really enjoyed it! I just can't wait to get to the library to get book 2!
