My review of The Founders by Holly Barbo

Disaster strikes Ose and the planet is in need of healing. Their is much fear on the planet due to a few groups of outlaws who are trying to take peoples food and animals and cause conflicts.

Marisily has been living with her father, Jed, until the death of her mother when she knows she must leave if she is wanting to survive. Yet she still may not be safe from him. She finds a place to live, and learns about who she really is and with the help of others like her they may be able to get everything back to normal, although the cost may be high.

I was a little hesitant going into this book as I normally do not read fantasy generally but I got a little into this one and couldn't stop reading it. I found I almost forgot that it was fantasy as the author has you so involved with everything that's going on.

I absolutely loved the character of Marisily and how she evolved into herself through the book with the knowledge that she gained through reading the ancient books. Her relationship with Sombra and Halcon was awesome and I loved how they protected her.

I enjoyed getting to know all of the Sage's and all of their different skills and how they were able to all work together to help each other and everyone around them.

This is the beginning of a great series and I can't wait to read more about all the Sage's and the new characters that are introduced!
