Shannon’s Thoughts:
Set in futuristic world magic is real. Not all have it and it is only found after fevers rage through areas killing most. Those that are left are called witchlings. Each witchlings main power is different but other powers can be learned. Our main character Noam has lived some hardships as a refuge and things do not get much easier for him after a fever breaks out killing his father. The fever leaves him with powers that make him very wanted by political leaders. As he learns how powerful he really is he also finds an attraction to a fellow witchling name Dara.
Characters are enjoyable to get to know even the ones that may not be on the side of good. I particularly liked the fact that there was no way to be sure who was in the right and who was wrong. There were no black and white sides and you learn this as the main character, Noam, also realizes it. Even Noam’s relationship with Dara is in the grey area.
One thing bothered me about the name of the new countries that North America broke into like the name Carolinia. I don’t know why this bothered me. It just felt the name for people were pretty great but the names for the places in the future world were just so so.
The author Victoria Lee has mentioned some characters will be in the next book and I look forward to finding out what happens next. I hope Noam expands his magic knowledge and get more powers. I found the lore of magic in the world very interesting.
