Guardians of Dawn: Zhara

I would give this more stars if I could!
There is magic and political intrigue, but also hope and smiles. This book has characters that you will fall in love with while you are also rooting for them to make things right. There is a pretty clear generational demarcation. The adults are mostly the bad guys for a variety of reasons, but the youth are the good guys. We don't spend a lot of time with the adults, so that gives us time to be with the youth in happy moments as well as action packed tense moments. The magic system is not well defined in this one, but that didn't bother me. The romance was light and mostly lacking in angst. I liked that as well. I can't find anything to complain about!
Waiting for book 2 will be so hard!
