Book Review: Dark Conduits: The Null by Anita Pendreigh

     Indigo was born to two high mages in the magical world without power. As a powerless, or Null, she was sent to the human realm. Now, at 17, she is working to keep the magical world safe from humans. Ironic, isn't it? Protecting the very world that cast her out. None the less the has done so for the last four years under the leadership of Ben. Now Ben has received notice that they must add on two new recruits to their little world along with a new magister being assigned.
     With the two new custodians and the powerful new Magister everything should become easier, yet it is so much more difficult. People are plotting to overthrow the magical world and the human world alike while there is something building within our young magister. With the help of the feisty Indigo, the shy Nate, and the queen bee Beatrice, can they save their world and the one they have sworn to protect from every evil they encounter?
     This book took me a few days to complete and while there were some minor editing errors I have no complaints about this book. In fact I hope that there is more after this book as the ending leaves much of the story untold. With love, betrayal, scorn, and unlikely friendships you are able to see the growth of not one, but three children make the transition into adulthood. For anyone who loves a good young adult mystery with a lot of fantasy thrown in this is a great book for you. I hope anyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I have.
     Indigo is my favorite character and without her the book would be severely lacking. She is the tie that binds in more than one way. The magister, Taine, is a complicated sort, but for anyone who has felt enough pain to do what he does he becomes relatable in those moments. Nate is the shy little outcast that no one ever noticed and his home life is even worse. Beatrice is the queen bee, adored by all..but could it be that she is loved by none? I wish you well as you travel deep with this little band of misfits to save us all.
