Good and dark...
Eighteen years after the eclipse that brought about a new world order, Kayla is now pulled into a situation where she must make choices. Some of which will dictate the fate of the world. Will she be able to grasp her true destiny, fall in love and make the choices that will save humanity? This book is slow starting out. However you really need to stick with this one because it does get better! It is well written and very well-constructed. This is not your normal dystopian tale as you are thrust into this world awaiting the second apocalypse and Kayla who is the one who will grow and come into her own legacy (not to mention fall in love). I did enjoy the romance in this book as it is not the norm in a dystopian novel. However I did have some trouble connecting with Kayla. On the flip side I really enjoyed Za'in. He was great. This book has many genre elements all mixed in together to say the least. However Clyman is able to string these elements together with ease in this book. In a novel of this size you really need to be able to keep your reader's attention and the author does just that with her well thought-out and (most definitely) imaginative storyline. I would most definitely recommend this one to those who like a bit of romance mixed with dystopian and a coming-of-age with lots of mythological references.
