Genre: YA Sci-Fi
Synopsis:
The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is . . . no one knows for sure how it will end.
Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.
Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I freaking love Loken! He rocks so much. I mean, he really, truly does. I don't want to tell you why, because it's too awesome to spoil for you guys to find out for yourselves. But he's really cool.
So it's the end of the world. No biggie, right? Well, everyone has a job, and Ashara (the protagonist) is to be on her exes team to help save the world. Uh-huh. That seems real likely.
The mages are nasty, mean things that keep trying to kill Ashara and the others. Forget about the end of the world, how is she going to stay alive long enough to help out?
This book is dystopian, which I obviously LOVE. Ashara isn't a bad character, she just has a lot of issues. Which makes her the perfect protagonist. She makes me want to strangle her with the way she runs from her problems, but if I were in her shoes I'd probably do the same thing.
I already said how much I like Loken. You'll see why when you read the book. Besides having a kick-ass name that reminds me of Thor's evil brother (even though his name is Loki and not Loken), he has some unique character qualities that'll make you like him.
Overall, a great read, I'm happy I read it. The story was whole, the characters antsy, and the world was about to end. What's not to like?

Alicia Wright Brewster is a mild-mannered lady of average height and above average paranormal obsession. By day, she works in an office. At night she is an author, an electronics junkie, and a secret superhero.
In her virtually non-existent free time, she loves to read, watch movies, and eat food. She is particularly fond of the food-eating and makes a point to perform this task at least three times per day, usually more.

Post a Comment
I love comments! So don't hesitate to share your thoughts. Leave your blog/website name and link so I can get back to you. And if you're a new follower, tell me. Note that this is an award-free zone. I loved getting awards and I was pleased you guys thought I was special, but I was nominated so many times and it took a lot of time to do the award posts, time that I don't have. So thanks, but no thanks.
Happy reading!
