Summary:
The Indigo's, a group of teens that have psychic gifts, is set out into the world. A radical church, the Believers, are set at destroying the Indigo's as an abomination and not meant to be out in the world. Gabe has his work cut out for him for teaching, protecting, and leading the group of Indigo children. He vows not to have any more children killed for being unlike others. Unfortunately, one of the Indigo children, Oliver Blue, has been brainwashed to turn against Gabe and ultimately take over the minds of all Indigos.
My thoughts:
While the first book was interesting because of the novelty of the experiment, this book didn't continue that theory. I did enjoy the over zealot church as the bad guy. It feels a lot like a cult, but since there are some fanatical churches that do more harm than good, it's nice to have that acknowledged in a young adult book instead of just adult literature. While I generally enjoyed this book, there was not anything about it that really stood out. It does a lot of history because Gabe has to go through things that have happened within his past. This is good for the story building. We get to know about all of the characters and the world they are in a little better than we did before. As a building book, this works. It does happen to suffer from not a lot else happening though. Unfortunately, it is fitting the "middle book" stereotype.
