Clarity is different in many ways. She is different because she can pick up things by touching objects. But most importantly she is different, because she is not like all those supernatural-young-adult-heroines who drown in self-pity. The story is fast-paced, the mystery is satisfactory, although a little predictable. The author did manage though to fall in the cliche love-triangle but due to the ending I believe there is more to it, in a way that will affect the next book.
Overall a nice quick read (it took me 4 hour to finish the book).
