I thought that was going somewhere, or perhaps would show up in a final showdown, but no such luck. If I have one complaint, it is the same as other reviewers have mentioned: the author didn't expand on Dev's power with metal. If anything, the conflict that threatened to keep the two lovers apart was more believable in this book than it was in most of the previous books. I felt the horror of Katya's experiences with Ming, I felt Dev's guilt over holding Katya prisoner, but I could also understand his reasons for doing so (Katya, incidentally, understood why he did it as well). I felt his struggle between doing the 'right thing' and doing what his heart was telling him to do. I really felt the relationship between Dev and Katya. Consequently, we learn more about some of the special children in this book, and that's a big bonus.

The hero, Dev, is the leader of the Shine foundation, whose objective is to track down children with psy DNA and teach them how to handle their gifts. In 'real time' many of the recipients of these genes aren't even aware that they carry them. For those of you following the series closely, this book gives a first person account (in the form of a mother's journal written for her son) of how silence came to be among the psy, and how a group of those who opposed silence broke away and formed their own enclaves, later assimilating with the human and changeling populations, passing an altered version of their psy genetics down through the generations. However, I enjoyed the combination of a female who has spent her life inside the psy net, free of emotion, while the hero has spent his life as part of a group of outsiders who can feel emotions. The author has pair them up in several combinations, and granted, some work better than others. In the psy changling world, there are three main 'races': the psy, the changlings, and humans. I'm glad I did read it, because I really enjoyed it. After Reading Reviews, I'm Surprised I Liked ItĪfter reading some of the negative reviews about his book, I was apprehensive about this title, but I'm committed to the series, and so there was no way around reading it.
