A lightning
strike. A boy that survived it.
"Val awoke
with a screaming headache, feeling disoriented and weak." (4) With no
memory of what happened, he staggers through an unknown place, completely lost
and confused. I mean, where else are you going to see unicorns? Then he meets
Chimael and Galia, who have been kind enough to take him in. But why have they
never heard of New York? After, everyone on Earth
knows about New York. How the heck did he end up in Bhon? What was Bhon? Where was Bhon?
But Val
wasn't so worried about getting back home, because he really had no home to go
to since he grew up a foster child. So when Chimael welcomes him so adoringly
and tells him that he can actually and be part of the family, Val was so
touched. It doesn't even matter that they might not be human.
Pretty soon,
Val settles into his new home life with Chimael. It was there that his new
abilities emerge and a startling truth is revealed: Val wasn't human. And,
apparently, his species were illegal. Great.
Story was
simple and interesting, although I thought it was a tad complicated at times. The
whole thing with Ta'ans and Sapiens was a little overwhelming. From that point
on, it gets kind of cluttered with too many characters and a vague plot. I
liked the idea of a lost boy coming into his superpowers and soon learns to
defend himself, which comes in handy in an intergalactic war; but it just
sort've petered off for me.
My rating: 3 stars
