The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Pretty mid, but works as a refreshing change of pace from all the big fantasy books I've been reading.

Unfortunately, suffers from teenage angst and predictable plot.
