By Maria V. Snyder

Format:Softcover

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life….

I didn't particularly like Touch of Power. The pace was pretty slow and the plot so simple that even the smart characters and their machinations appeared plain. Everything was so transparent that I just wanted to get to the good parts - meaning the romance. But, oh, there wasn't much to read about that, either. So, this was a rather disappointing read. I mean, the plot was transparent but definitely interesting and I hoped that there would be some awesome twists and turns. Meh. Instead, the whole action strand relied on a (obviously forced from the author) misunderstanding. I know, I know, that's what has to happen to finally get those two thickheads together but that just seems sooo fake! Over and out.
