Melenta Cha'atre is from a far away planet. A planet that is beautiful and intriguing on the outside, with it's purple skies and sweet fragrance. But Lekton, is a planet that holds tight to it's traditions. Traditions that say the father is the dictator and ruler of the household. He chooses what happens to his children, from which school they are to attend to whom they marry. But Melenta was born to change these traditions! She knows it in her heart! It's a wild ride as we follow Melenta's journey to change her planet. She must challenge everyone she knows and loves to become the person she dreams of being. But will she become her planet's savior The MenD'lee?
I have to tell you that I don't read books twice. I usually read a book so quickly that after a week or so all that remains in my mind is the basic story. But, I find myself coming back to this book again. Wanting to reread the pages that hold so many clues to this exciting world. Don't skip the prologue! You will want to because of it's pages filled with history and confusing new worlds. But, you will find yourself coming back to it if you don't read it, it is necessary to the story line . Other than learning the history and the occasional new language, the book flows easily. I found myself hurting with her and rejoicing with her. There is an ongoing spiritual theme behind this book with The All -Wise, who Melenta believes to be helping her in her quest. I love that the book takes you through the emotional gambit without leaving you emotionally scarred. The only part that I do not like about this book is that it is not finished. Being the first installment, we have to wait to find out Melenta's destiny. But because of that, we want more! And more! I would recommend this book to everyone, but watch out because you will get hooked! You will be like me waiting and waiting for the next book!
