Synopsis
Go
to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That’s the mandate for most
kids. But Nick Gautier isn’t the average teenager. He’s a boy with a destiny
not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while
everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him.
He’s
learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance,
so why is learning to drive such a difficulty? But that isn’t the primary skill
he has to master. Survival is.
And
in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison.
He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever
known. Or he’ll be the one who ends the
world. With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every
part of himself to fight or he’ll lose everyone he cares about.
Even
himself.
Thoughts
Take
a minute out of this to know that I read the adult Dark-Hunter series, by same
author and so I have this all wrapped around that world and that Nick and everything
that comes into that sorta stuff.
Anyway,
this is a point every time I pick up a book in this series—the other too, but
Nick’s a bastard in that one and you try not to remember too much of what he
says.
And
on we should go, this book actually explained some of those points, which is
great, made it all make sense and let the world move around him in a different
way than it was. That being said, I still know that things will happen, because
they have to, and in this book that’s also explained.
Making
me like it even more so.
This
book is about hatred in the school ground and I think something that actually
happens a lot more than you would think, though maybe not to this degree.
I
actually really liked this book, it held the laughter that Nick had and more so
the niceness that he is.
This
also entwines his father and what he’s plans are, getting thoughts to roam as
to what’s going to happen, not so much about Nick’s life, but just this series,
since it’s not like this series is anything but....
Still,
we meet Thorn, who unfortunately I have already meet, so this is something that’s
not something that I should really talk much about, I’m sorry but I’m a fan of
the adult series and for that reason alone the character, the new ones, aren’t
really new.
Saying
this, something Nick does in this book makes me have to think real hard. and
then surprises me a little, wondering what’s going to happen or what the particular
person really wants (this again, is coming from knowledge from the Dark-Hunter
series and nothing more, which suck, but because that one’s so twirled around
with the other I’m not really objective when it comes to this in the eyes of
someone reading this as a first series. Which is actually a good idea to do,
honestly, Kenyon’s writing and world is brilliant and it makes you think,
laugh, and think. Really, she’s a smart lady and what she writes needs to be
read.
