What's this? A dystopian romance? Why, how new! How unexpected! And it's the first in a series, you say? My goodness! The vapors! 
 I slogged through just about 3/4 of this and I'm giving up. It's not very good. It's disjointed. I don't care about any of the characters. I don't care if they live happily ever after or take down society or whateverthehell they do with their magical powers, where one can control people with his voice and the other can just THINK at things to make them work. It's like the Wonder Twins crossed with Superman--there's nothing they can't do, so... yawn. Oh, they're in a predicament? OH LOOK THEY USED THEIR MAGIC POWERS AND NOW THEY'RE SAFE. 
 With 80 pages to go, I could have just knocked it out, but I just didn't want to. Now I'll never know how it ends. I'm okay with that.
