rated 6/10: read to pass the time
There are mind powers, ghosts and a spot of time travel: fantasy.
There's an all- powerful organisation which controls and manipulates people: thriller.
It's a bit girly, with romance, loss and betrayal but it's not romance. There's not enough clothing changes to be chicklit.
I guess it's fantasy adventure.
The mind powers are interesting... until they explode.
The heroine has some mind powers which would be useful if only she learnt to use them. Then -- suddenly -- she uses them. Learns quickly while using -- and her mild powers become super-powers. There is no hint ... until she destroys buildings.
There's no logic to the use of her powers.
The climax also lacks logic. Was it a dream? Was it a split in the time-stream/ Was it a cop-out when the author ran out of logical solutions?
I came to this book from St Marys by the same author. This book is more serious. Or at least, less light. Somewhat disappointing.
Forget the author... the book is readable. Entertaining. There are some nice ideas, some nice characters... some nasty. Though the villain is rather confusing... giving him depth makes his villainy less villainous.
Readable but very average.
