  • Fun and exciting series debut3

    Shelley Cusbert I have had Kelly Medding's Dreg City series on my TBR list for a while but haven't had the time to squeeze much recreational reading into my schedule for a while now. When the opportunity to start her new series MetaWars came up I was excited to take it.
    Trance introduces the Ranger Corps and the Banes, humans with amazing superpowers collectively known as Meta's whose battles devastated the world until just as the Banes threatened to win the war, their abilities were ripped from them. Trance was just ten when it happened, one of only a dozen or so Meta's to survive. Now, fifteen years later the abilities of the Meta's are inexplicably restored though Trance seems to have gained her grandmother's skills rather than her own power. A reunion with the her childhood meta friends is marred by murderous attacks and it becomes obvious that Specter, the leader of the Banes, has also regained his ability and is targeting them. Trance and the reformed Ranger Corps needs to find and stop him before he unleashes Armageddon.
    I like that Medding has pushed Urban Fantasy into a new realm with her band of superheroes. A cross between Xmen, The Incredibles and The Justice League of America, Trance is an action packed adventure with a touch of romance in a post apocalyptic urban setting. I'm not sure there is anything particularly new about the world the author has created but it is well described and detailed.
    The characters in Trance are well drawn and developed. Trance is a likeable mixture of vulnerability and strength. For fifteen years she has struggled with the loss of her family, her powers and made some bad choices along the way. She wants to do the right thing but she is insecure and frightened of making things worse. The attrition rate in this novel is unusual, several supporting characters we meet that you might expect will become part of the series cast are killed. Those that survive the skirmish in this book are interesting though and include the effervescent Renee AKA Flex, the troubled Ethan and Trance's childhood crush, now lover, Gage. Medding does a good job of obscuring the villains identity adding to the tension and excitement of the storyline and the ending, while a great lead in to the next book, also completes the story so you aren't left with a frustrating cliffhanger.
    A quick and easy read, Trance is a fun and exciting story which will especially appeal to fans of superheroes and Marvel comics. by Shelley Cusbert
