Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

Carrier of the Mark is a pretty good read and Fallon has great writing skills however --- the characters and the plot are way too similar to other popular novels out there. I hate comparing books, so I won't go into detail other than to say it lacks originality.

The mythology and elements of nature are explain really well. I really enjoyed finding out about the character's individual marks and their powers. I found a minor character to be much more interesting than the main character and I hope that we find our more about, Aileen in the future books.

The next book in this series, isn't expected out until 2013 and that is a very long wait ----
