This one is a slight departure from my normal reads as it is a male-lead UF. I thought the world was very, very cool. Magic has found it's way into the world, giving some people the power to heal, control the elements, control animals, control the dead and open portals, just to name a few. The military takes command of anyone who tests as a probable magic user. Those who run are hunted down. There are also accepted and prohibited forms of magic, but since you can't decide what kind of magic you'll have, it sucks to be you if you develop into one of the prohibited powers. 
 Oscar Britton is a career soldier who does his job, but doesn't blindly follow orders. A lot of the magic users who run are scared teens, and Britton has a big moral problem with hunting them down. Then, after a grueling fight, his own powers manifest and turns out his are on the No-no list. Certain this means his death, he runs. What follows next tests everything he's trained for, his personal beliefs, and makes him question where he really belongs. Can he live with himself if he follows the easier path? 
 There were a lot of times where I wanted to scream, "Oscar, you're an idiot!" but if I look at it in the context of the story, his vascillation makes a lot of sense. It's not easy to go against authority. Britton pretty much has to go through another adolescence as he gets his body under control. Mistakes will be made. 
 There's a whole bunch of setup here for future books. It was an action-fueled story and I'll be reading the next one.
