My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Magic when remains uncontrolled, can lead to grave destructions, even sometimes loss of mind! 16year old Lysandra Blake in the novel, New Sight by Jo Schneider, thought that she has gone crazy, when she started acting strange!
Thanks to the author, Jo Schneider, for providing me with a copy of her new novel, in return for an honest review.
Lys was spending her days in a mental institution owing to the fact that she always had this urge to rip off people's eyes, but with a sudden appearance of a new doctor, Mason, made her think otherwise. He convinced that in his institution people like her are treated and also she was not crazy, instead she was reacting to a drug. But when Lys arrives in that institution, she gets the real picture and figures out that she had magical powers and she never knew how to control it. Next we find those captives are running for their lives from one location to another, trying to escape from Mason and the plot becomes completely adrenaline-rushing and thrilling.
The author has opened a whole new dimension about the theory of magic. She has presented a set of rules and regulations and all the logical explanations behind the magical abilities, which were quite easy to understand. The characterization was quite strong, but we were not fed with the back-stories of so many important characters, so it got quite dull at times to read it.
