Transformation by Carol Berg

5.0

I *loved* these books and Carol Berg when I was 15, and of course, 17 years later was very worried it would not hold up. But wow! What a fantastic start to a series and a fantastic debut novel. Seyonne is such a compelling main character and his relationship with Aleksander is wonderfully complicated and compelling. Berg has to walk a fine line around the power dynamics and for the most part I think she knocked it out of the park. The book is just a little too fast paced I think, which usually works in its favor but occasionally means we have to skip over some characterizations or details I would have enjoyed lingering on. 4.5/5 stars.
