Bardic Voices by Mercedes Lackey
I'm re-reading this series, as since my husband's death I find comfort in the literature I read as a teen or a young adult. And what I'm finding now, nearly thirty years later, is the same kind of anti-racism text as is found in Real Life Politics today. One of the Free Bards (Kestrel) is talking about Humans Only signs and varying things being declared as evil...

and I'm thinking... didn't I just hear this story on NPR?

The layout of this book was so unique - rather than a straight narrative, you were able to experience the story through short bursts via IM chats, 3rd-party observations while transcribing security video, and AI logs. The characters developed over the course of the novel, but it was surprisingly the artificial intelligence A.I.D.E.N. that stole the show. It was an enjoyable story and the plot wasn't predictable. I highly recommend the book to fans of young adult/teen novels, science fiction and truly well thought out narratives.

Ms. Carter did it again. I absolutely loved the Goddess Test series and I am just as excited about this one. I loved all of the plot twists in it and the characters were so easy to get attached to. I really enjoyed the little details of the book. There was so much action in this and, unlike many other Young Adult novels, there wasn't really a love triangle. Woo! I hope people will want to read this as much as I did. Great job Aimée Carter!!
