Geist by Philippa Ballantine

3.0

---

This was a pretty good first novel in the series. All 3 main characters are likable, although Sorcha originally comes off as a hard ass at first. Also, I like the idea of geists and geistlords. It reminds somewhat of the demons in the Demon Cycle series. The one thing I didn't like is that we are constantly told Sorcha is the most powerful Deacon in the Order, but she doesn't really do anything to demonstrate that. Sure, she's powerful, but we don't see enough of what other Deacons can do in order to gauge her.

I'll keep going with this series, but I do hope that it gets better as there is good potential here.
