review 1: The main character, Ambra, reflects the writing of the author early in the book when she says she does "not have the words to describe"This is a commmon occurrance throughout the book...we are lead up to an event and left hanging with little description. I cant believe I suffered through the entire book. It did get slightly better after the first half, possibly earning 1 1/2 stars but I would NOT reccommend this as a good read.
review 2: There are parts of this book I really liked. For example, the mysterious orbs and their abilities; the latent powers of the mind to transcend self and reach out to other consciousness entities. I enjoyed the thought provoking quotes at the chapter beginnings. But the author's attempt to make the main character sympathetic by ... moresubjecting her to various indignities and torture is way overdone. The appeal to convince the reader of accept the book as an authentic appeal leaves me baffled - why, what purpose is being served? There is too much black and white and not enough hues to make the book compelling or even interesting.I plodded through hoping that the story hoping it would start to make a point, or even sense, but the end just gave me the impression it was just a teaser for a future volume. less
