Length: 553 pages
Tyen is a young sorcerer on an expedition when he discovers Vella - a "talking" book. Deciding "she" is too valuable to hand over to the Academy, he tries to teach "her" the ways of the modern world. But after being framed for the theft of Vella, he must escape if he wants to accomplish his mission.
Rielle can see Stain; a mark left over from the use of magic, which is forbidden. After being abducted by a Tainted, her life slowly spirals out of control; she runs away from home, lives with her lover, and is banished for using magic, herself becoming Tainted.
Vella, oh Vella! I love the idea of Vella. Who wouldn't want a book that could be your friend? The amount of knowledge she can contain is incredible! This is definitely my favourite part of the novel, and I'm really excited to see where this goes over the trilogy. I just want to read more and more about this Tyen and his adventures with this book.
I like Rielle too. She is a strong character with decent morals. She lives in a completely different world where magic is forbidden, unlike Tyen's world where it can be used freely. In both worlds it appears there is a sort of residue left behind after magic is used; something referred to as Stain by Rielle. In Rielle's world, only certain people can see Stain, I guess those with more magical ability.
I am very much looking forward to reading the next book very soon!
