I'm a few chapters in and this book is reading too much like Eragon, only phoenix instead of dragons. And the main characters phoenix's name also sounds like Eragon's dragon's name. I'm listening to this book, so I don't know the spelling...but...plagiarism? Unoriginal ideas?

I don't know if I'm going to keep on with this one--I'm just tired of this theme of these gifted kids having gifted parents and NOT telling their parents anything about their abilities or experiences. So stupid. I've had abilities since I was a kid, and yet had adults who ignored their abilities, I had to learn my stuff alone. I WISH I had a parent to talk to. Ridiculous stories.
