Though when done well it can be interesting, I guess it all depends on the author for me. I'm sad to hear this book was a DNF, it sucks when that happens.

Ashlyn and Rebecca go through a pretty strong metamorphosis as they discover their powers and learn to use them, but I know that the setup in the beginning happens too gradually for some readers, and that the more adult-world oriented themes like politics aren't going to appeal to some YA readers. So to your followers, I'd say this book is ideally for those of you who are interested in exploring the greyer shades of good and evil and enjoy reading about characters who have powers like flying, invisibility, and healing against a backdrop of real-world places and themes. You can check out other reviews of the book on Goodreads, or just read the free PDF of Rising Shadow on my web site www.soterians.com to see if it's your thing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JacquelynJacquelyn Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330080808098351829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486517181731927731.post-72398789011454295492010-05-16T07:55:15.692-04:002010-05-16T07:55:15.692-04:00Sorry you didn't enjoy this one.

I think it's nice when a character is average enough for the average person to relate to him/her, but there has to be something extraordinary to make them worth reading about.<br /><br />--Anna<br /><a href="http://diaryofaneccentric.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Diary of an Eccentric</a>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.com
