Gifts


If you like fantasy, this book is for you. Not quite fairy tale fantasy, but science fictiony fantasy where everyone's names are all weird and they talk like medieval people but something's different. Not usually my style of reading, but whatever.
Meet Orrec, a boy who has the gift to undo, or kill, by looking at things with meaning. He supposedly has a "wild gift," though, meaning it could go off at any time, so he has to wear a blindfold to avoid killing everyone he loves. Gry is his best friend, she's been his friend since birth, because their parents were friends. She has the gift to summon animals and people often want her to use that gift for easy hunting. She doesn't like killing either, so she avoids using her gift too.
Together this pair will discover that just because their powers are destructive doesn't mean they have to be.
Like I said, fantasy isn't really my thing, but this book was okay.
