Ses Lucani has never known her parents. Powerful leaders in the cold war left over after the gods' imprisonment, Ses's mother and father are now bitter rivals, each pretending their secret daughter doesn't exist. Raised by her grandfather, Ses now lives in the hollowed-out center of the planet and learns to forge wrightings, tools imbued with soul energy and used to maintain the prison of the gods. When terrorists attack the prison on her sixteenth birthday, Ses is forced to flee after the ensuing investigation reveals the secret of her parentage. Suddenly, the very parents who abandoned her may be the only people she can trust. Running from government operatives and fanatic cultists, Ses meets Murien, a boy with fingers in a shadowy network that can lead her to her father. But some secrets are darker than parentage. On her way to find her father, Ses will uncover truths about her family and herself that will shatter her understanding of the world and risk the return of the gods themselves.

By Alyssa Brown Channeling equal parts Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett, and Suzanne Collins, Greg Little's freshman offering is as smart as it is thrilling. We meet Ses Lucani at the height of her boredom, which quickly changes as the temple alarm sounds. From that point forward, the narrative--and Ses--hurdles forward, bringing with it a compelling sense of immediacy. Ses travels upward, through a gaping wound in the earth, to the eerie yet fascinating cities of Crocodilius, Viperid Mons, and Arach Arbor. As she searches for her mother and father, major power players in rival factions, her encounters are both gripping and heartwarming. (For example, who would ever think that they would develop an attachment to a horse-sized spider?) The story appears to flirt with predictability, yet ultimately twists and turns to arrive at a satisfying conclusion. Unwilling Souls answers just enough questions, while leaving sufficient mysteries so that fans will eagerly await Volume 2.

Fascinating and complex world By Marie Moler Fantastic and very creative world with smiths at the center of the earth, imprisoned gods, and cities built into the skeletons of giant animals, but to me it's first and foremost a mystery. Ses, a 16 year old apprentice smith, uncovers conspiracies, underground resistance fighters, spies, and just how close her world is to collapse. The social and physical order of the world is complex and carefully laid out for the main character and reader and revealed throughout the book. The book is a great introduction to a fascinating world and characters and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Freshman novel written by a to-be-discovered Master Writer By A Customer This book is a mixture of science fiction and fantasy, written with the perfectionist’s eye of a practicing engineer. The author immerses us immediately in an unfamiliar yet believable world, where the usual laws of physics mix with a few new mystical rules. He cleverly builds our understanding of this world through the eyes of the main character, from whose perspective we experience all of the action. She is young and inexperienced but not stupid and certainly not ordinary.As the story begins, her world is suddenly disturbed, and we go on a long road of discovery and adventure and danger with her and the people that she meets along the way. The world itself is fantastic, hinting frequently at amazing characters and events that occurred in the distant past. The action takes place in only a fraction of this world, but that is still enough to awe the heroine (and us vicariously following readers). In the end of this first volume, we find that she has exemplified the strong yet feminine archetype, relying on her own bravery and confidence to succeed.I found it strange that such a great book told through a female’s perspective could be written by a man, but that made me realize that it is not our sex that gives us perspective, but our willingness to think about our world in more than one way. Although the author described this book to me as aimed toward young adults—and certainly that is the demographic from which the main characters are drawn—like the Harry Potter novels from J.K. Rowling, this book challenges and entertains and rewards the adult mind as well. I never found a wasted sentence, nor an extraneous description of any person or place, yet everything was made to come perfectly to life to serve the story. This book is the work of a master writer, who has learned and emulated only the good from the great writers of fantasy and science fiction.This book is suitable for mid-teens and up. I think that girls and women who enjoy a little fantasy, a little science, and a lot of strong can-do femininity will enjoy this book the greatest. Guys should not fear though: this is no “chick book.” There are strong male characters that are integral to the story and to the development of the main female character. There is satisfaction here for everyone.I thoroughly enjoyed this book, highly recommend it, and look forward to the sequels.
