The beginning

Grace is a young girl who finds herself in a new environment she is very unprepared for. Abigail Silver has brought us into the life of Grace slowly. We get glimpses of things from the past and hints of things that she might want to learn. A lovely beginning.

I was unsure about the mix of topics in this book, but now that I've finished I am looking forward to reading the next book. I can't wait to find out more of the history of the society while learning more about the main character's, Gracie's, future! I would never have imagined a world in which space travel, colonization, vampires, and psychics could all mix smoothly, but these things and more make this tale a delight!
