The Named

I have remembered this series for years, and finally decided I wanted to re-read it this year.

The plot focuses on the war between the Guard and the Order of Chaos, as the Order try to create chaos by changing history. Our main character has been training with the Guard since he was a young boy and has finally graduated to become a trainer himself. To his dismay, his pupil is his ex-best friend's annoying younger sister.

This first book was a pleasant surprise, as it had more depth and detail than I expected. I also enjoyed the mixture of adult and teen heroes working together. Over the next few books, I expect the plot to develop further and become more complicated.
