A Quarrel Called, Shannon Wendtland
Netgalley copy in exchange for an honest review.
The Blurb
The Sage, The Guardian, The Lantern, The Light – together we four are Stewards of the Plane, a Quarrel.
G. is the Guardian; he’s developed a strong protective instinct and a kickass sword of light that can chase away the baddies like nobody’s business.
Sam is the Lantern; his dreams shed light on possible futures – he’s always had dreams, but now he sees where we’re going and how far, and it scares the crap out of him.
Tara is the Sage; as our resident mystic, she can commune with the Akashic records: the big data warehouse in the sky. She can get information on anywhere, anywhen, if only she can learn to ask the right questions.
And me, I’m Melody, I’m the Light. I can channel the earth’s energy and according to Gramps, I can stabilize a vortex. It’s a good thing, too, or else we would be in a lot of trouble.
Before the summer started, we were a bunch of normal teenagers getting ready for our senior year in high school. By the time summer was over, we’d fought and won battles, lost friends and saved the world (except for that time when we made it worse).
This is our story. We wrote it all down; that way when it happens to you, when you're called to be a Steward of the Plane - a member of a quarrel, you'll know what to do.

My Thoughts
I was beyong excited when I was allowed access to this book, because the summary looked really interesting.
AND IT FULFILLED THE PROMISE!
I
loved, loved, loved this story. The chapters are short and each one
focuses on one character, so the points of view keep changing, which is a
really nice touch, in my opinion.
There’s something that
draws me to this story, but I can’t really put it into words. I loved
the voice of the book, if that makes sense. It is intense, fast-paced
and you need to know where this is going - and I kept rooting for all the characters, which rarely happens.
AND THIS ENDING! UGH! My poor heart! Can’t wait for the sequel, I loved this so much!!
