He runs away because he wants to ‘find himself’, something I have literally never heard any 16-year-old say, and of course he knows his way around everywhere pretty much instantly. Cris knows that everybody else is wrong and that he should be allowed to use his powers. There is a lot of potential for anger and conflict and what do I know here – but the author just doesn’t really do anything with it. He is the second-born, but his older brother died, and apparently he felt like his parents are bitter over having him instead of his older brother as their heir, especially because he has telepathic/telekinetic abilities. Let’s break down some of the sections of this blueprint of boringness, shall we?Ĭris Sietinen is the heir of one of the six big corporations that, together with the ominous ‘Priesthood’ make up the government of the world this story is set in. It’s just too goddamn boring to deal with the last 40%. I read 50% of this book and then skimmed to 60% before I decided I wouldn’t finish it. Reading this really feels like reading about the process of an architect – it’s extremely slow, nothing exciting happens, and in the end everything works out all the time. The title of this book is extremely accurate.
