Ahhhhh!! This is one of my new absolute favorite books! It was recommended at the front of a bookstore. I got it read it, LOVED it, then went to buy the second only to find out only the first book has been written :( NOOO.
This book is about an alternate world where certain people have the ability to move earth and quell earthquakes by there will. This ability is called orogeny. This book follows three different time periods in a girl's life who discovers she has the ability, the way the world she lives in treats her kind and her trying to live outside of the world's constructs for her. Orogeny is feared but viewed as necessary to save the people from earthquakes and tectonic movement. Those who are able to practice it are tightly controlled by the government, they are taught, bred and used in specific ways.
This book is gripping and devastatingly good. I cannot wait to get my hands on the second one!
