It's a different world.
Karen MacRae does an amazing job describing a world completely different from ours as well as bringing all the characters to life. The idea of people having gifts or superpowers has been something a lot of authors have written about however few have engrossed me so quickly.
Anna is an amazingly strong and morale female protagonist that we need to see more of. She may be young and seemingly fragile but deep down she has a lot of power and stands up for what she believes in.
The book is set in a world where all abilities are accepted and embraced, all except one. Annas. She is an Aura Shaper and using her gifts is punishable by death. She has kept her secret for a long time so understandably is very wary when 2 strangers, on the course of finding a friend in trouble, discover what she is.
However even though they are frightened of her abilities they help her. I like that Sy and Spider accept her despite being afraid instead of them instantly disregarding everything they had been told or knew of others with her ability.
Fate seems to send her with them on their travels and appears to have much larger plans for her. With her abilities she looks to be the only one who can save the entire Kingdom. However first she must learn what she can do and how to control her powers.
This is merely the beginning of her journey. I didn't realise this was a series when I started to read it but I now cant wait to read and see how Anna and the other characters develop.
