This book was definitely a find for me. The characters were very realistic and believable, the plot was engaging and I never fund myself bored or skipping ahead at any point. Those are both good hallmarks for a well-done book. Another note is that I immensely enjoyed the descriptive nature of the settings in the book, I really felt like I was there!

Legacy of the Mind (The Legacy Trilogy, #1)
by H.R. Moore
I did not expect the depth and diversity within this book it took me by total surprise. The title does not give the reader a hint at the rich world that H R Moore has created. The characters are dynamic and so realistic you immediately connect with them. The mystery and problems are so ominous and difficult for the characters the reader will long to read the entire series in hopes that they get resolution. Anita is a young Body adherent who seems to be more adept and capable than her Empire population, she stands out from the crowd. It seems there is more to her past than indicated in this opening story. Alexander is a descendant who inherited his title role in the pages of this book, only to question if they are doing what the descendants are required to do. Marcus another descendant has been waiting in the wings as his father plays a devious role in changing the overall goal of this governmental society, and how they respond to the gifts and power inherent in their positions. I hope I get a chance to read the rest of the story and find the resolution that is itching beneath my skin. Kudos to H R Moore for an addictive and enduring story.
