The series continues, told through the views of various characters.

The story is pretty interesting, but some characters are kind of annoying. I'm enjoying the series and looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

I'm going to just have to rate the series as a whole -at least Ariel wasn't in this, she might be the worst. It's a tie between her and Harold.

Parker continues his post-apocalyptic dystopian future with teenagers starting to have magical powers, and who are hoping to fulfill a prophecy that would save their destroyed world. Parker drives this story almost exclusively through dialogue and has the fast-paced action that is ideal for a young-adult audience but that leaves almost anyone else full of questions. This is one of those series that while you might love as a teenager, you will dislike as an adult.
