Janice Y. (Book #1 in the Glasswright series. I found this book a little bit hard to get into because I found Rani hopelessly naive and was getting frustrated that she managed to put herself into a terrible situation just by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I kept thinking: oh I dont think you should trust these people Rani. But I kept reading and after the first two chapters I got really caught up in hoping Rani would be able to survive and figure out the strange conspiracy around her. I also loved some of the other characters like the leader of the band of Touched children - Mare, and the rhyming prince Hal. Pretty fast-paced young adult fantasy.
Elizabeth B. (I found this book enjoyable, and didn't consider it YA Sci-Fi. The heroine was intelligent, resourceful, plucky and believable, and the storyline had some unique elements in a common theme. Recommended
