At first, I got this book because it was free for my kindle. I wasn't expecting much, just your basic fun cheesy adventure.

Oh. Boy. How wrong I was!

Lindon is a boy who was born without madra. This leads much of his own village, even his family to an extent, to brush him aside because he is "unsouled". Everyone can relate to Lindon! He's a gangly and underestimated but witty teen with incredible courage and a determination to save the village he loves, no matter the cost.

Get this one. Now I HAVE to read the rest of them. I spend through this one in 2 days!
