Synopsis:
The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is... no one knows for sure how it will end.
Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.
Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.
My Thoughts: This story had me interested from the the first sentence. Ashara was supposed to be enjoying time with her family and relaxing until the end of the world came. "Ten days, four hours, twenty-one minutes." Instead she is pulled into a world she had didn't know she belonged to and had not received the proper training for.
Ashara is the type of female lead that I love. She is strong, values family, and has a haunting past. Ashara is determined to do her part in saving the world. Even if that means she must die. Even though Ashara is not sure she should be apart of the Ethereal task force she works hard to learn her role and harness her power.
Alicia Wright Brewster has created a fast paced, action packed story that will keep you on pens and needles till the very end. It is easy to connect with the characters and each one is important to the story and very memorable. Sci-fi and YA lovers a like will delight in this read.
