Well hello readers I do hope that you're looking forward to this weekend I know I do,I'll explain it next week if all go as plan anyway last week I read the fourth book of the Gifted series by Marilyn Kaye.Like its predecessor it focuses on how other people are trying to take advantage by using one of the students' gifts.It was published in the year 2010.
The High and Low
.Amanda is back as one of the leads
.While the story was not as adventurous as before the story felt more focused
.Once again the book was simply too short
.The story neglected most of the characters
Quick Summary
Ken received his gift when one dya he had an accident where he almost die.Since then he had been able to hear the voice of the dead even his bestfriend's voice too(He died because of the accident)He never really felt that he could control his power.One day he found a mysterious note in his locker inviting him to a seance and so with nothing else to do he went there with Amanda.There he met a kid whose father had just won a lottery but unfortunately died.Now the kid couldn't find the ticket so he went here hoping that the person who run the place could help.Unfortunately her powers was not strong enough so she couldn't call his dad.Meanwhile Amanda who felt sorry for a girl who was at the seance was teleported into her body.Amanda decided to stay in her body for a while...............................................That's all I guess.
The Conclusion
I am glad to say that this book was definitely better than the third book.While the third book tried to make it into more adventurous you just felt like some parts didn't make any sense at all not only that Amanda had less appearance than before/Thank goodness the author made Amanda as one of the leads again.Ken genuinely suprised me as a great lead so in a way both of the great leads managed to save the book from doom but with the cost of sacrificing most of the other character which I thought was a big mistake sine eventually we will read from their point of the story and I'm not actually loving characters like Sarah,Charles or Martin since they are the characters who had the least appearance(I didn't mention Carter since I'm curious on his character even if he had the least appearance)Let's just hope for the future that she makes the characters flesh out more without abondonig Amanda but for now let's us just enjoy this book.
