She writes a Gen series in a world where empathic guides have been stripped of all citizenship rights and are property for sentinels. Blair is a rogue who escaped guide training, and once caught, he was essentially tortured into accepting his inferior status. Jim, hating the system, has always avoided taking a guide, but as he senses spiral out of control, he finally bonds with Blair. I love the emotional honesty between the two characters... the way they make their own rules... the real need between them. I just couldn't buy the world. As I saw someone else point out, where is the ACLU?
