AVALON REDDING
A child's Power doesn't usually become apparent until they start to walk and talk, so we had to be espacially careful around little Helena until we figured out that she was indeed a Fire Mage as well. When you're eight years old like I was, and you're only just getting used to your Power, controlling them around an attention-seeking sibling is a particularly hard thing to do. Not that an eight year old has a very strong Power to begin with, yet all it takes is a tiny flame to burn down an entire forest.
...
By age of five Helena hadn't shown any signs that she was a Fire Mage. In fact, Helena hadn't shown any signs taht she was a Mage of any kind at all. Helena is now then years old, an age which we refer to as The Age of Insight'.
...
When a child turns ten years old you always notice a change. Their Powers become a little stronger, more defined, and continue to grow.
...
Helena. My Helena. Ten years old and not even the slighest hint that she possesses my Power what so ever. This was terrifying for my family, not only because it was dangerous for her to be living in a house where fires often occurred, but another reason entirely.
Those who are void of Power are called Humans. Pre-apocalyptic beings that have been dying out for the past 1000 years, and are only used for one pupose. Slavery. Human are seen as scum.

C'est un des premiers livres que j'ai lu en anglais. J'ai donc eu quelque peu de difficulté à suivre l'histoire dans tous ces détails mais, c'était une bonne histoire.
Les personnages évoluent au cours de l'histoire, on apprends à les connaître et on s'y attache.
Il y a des évènements qu'on voit vernir et d'autres qui nous surprennent.
C'est une bonne lecture!!!

Résumé
In a future where ignorance has destroyed the world that we know, humans are slaves and Mages - advanced beings with abilities beyond everyday reach - rule the land.
Avalon is one such Mage. Barely eighteen years of age, she wields the gift of fire yet she is unable to control it. She leaves her family in the dead of night and heads to the city of Frost Arch, her future seemingly grim.
Will Avalon be able to overcome the trials that befall her? Will she be able to save the ones she loves and stay strong within herself?
Time will tell.
