"Book One of The Destroyer Trilogy For Libby Sparks, turning sixteen means only one thing. . .death. Guardian rule demands she attend the ritualistic Inquest that will unveil her talents and secure her place in society. But that isn't all that will be revealed in Libby's case. The more talents you have the better, at least to some degree. Four or five talents will guarantee you a life of luxury, but seven. . .that is the mark of the Destroyer. Libby knows her Inquest will reveal her to be the Guardians' greatest enemy. Their law requires her death before her eighteenth birthday. If she lives, prophecy foretells that the world will fall into chaos and destruction. Once her destiny is revealed, Libby is abandoned when her mother throws her out, her boyfriend tries to kill her, and her best friend shuts her out. Only Milo, a slightly grungy outcast, seems willing to be her friend-but Libby soon realizes he has secrets of his own. His secrets may very well have everything to do with her own destiny. In order to make it to her eighteenth birthday, Libby must bury her talents and convince the world she is harmless. Her plan only lasts until Milo is put in danger and Libby is forced to choose. Abandon her friend to save her own life, or embrace her destiny and truly become the Destroyer."--… (mehr)
Review of Inquest (Part one in the destroyer Trilogy) Author Del Sheree Gladden
I rated this book with five stars
I was given this book for an honest review. www.reviewoffantasy.com
I loved every second of this book and now I am a fan.
Libby a young sixteen year old anxiously awaits her inquest, to see what her talents are. In total there are seven; Speed, Strength, Perception, Spiritualism, Vision, Naturalism and Concealment. Normally you receive between one and three which is average, but Libby has known for a long time that she has all seven, which you would think would be awesome. Hmmm, no, too have all seven means you’re the destroyer a title that comes with a penalty – death. This book got my attention from page one all the way to page 378 now I want book two. Loved Libby, I laughed at her sarcastic attitude throughout the book her optimism after losing everything was amazing. My favourite is the love triangle between Lance her x-boyfriend and Milo the strange guy. By the end of the book she has to pick one, it’s not the end of this triangle. Don’t want to say too much or I’ll spoil it.
Overall a great read. I finished it in a day and a half but would have read it quicker only for life’s interferences (work). I cannot wait for book 2. I would like to thank the author for allowing me to review her book, I truly enjoyed every second of it. ( )
