He will befriend a mysterious old miner who holds the key to some of Dean's past. We also find Dean in a power struggle as he tries to remain a normal teenage boy enjoying his life riding in the desert and hanging out with his new found friends. Dean fears his new responsibility and also is terrified of the possibility of harming someone. With these powers come some pretty unnatural occurrences for Dean as he acquires the ability to gain superhuman strength along with mystical powers which enable him to thwart any attempts from anyone who tries to discover the whereabouts of the mine. He feels this is more of a curse than a gift. The inn was a gift left to a family of three - a divorced mother, daughter and son - one of those being Dean Banks, a fifteen year old boy who comes to find out he has inherited a supernatural gift of power from a long ago Apache ancestor and is destined to be the Guardian of the mine. You may find some of the guests who come to the inn are as strange as the inn itself. And this just may be the reason for all of the paranormal activity. Some say the inn sits at the top of an energy vortex that has ties to the mine. This charming inn is nestled in the Sonoran Desert on the Apache Trail close to the foreboding Superstition Mountains which are said to be the home of the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine.

In the lecture, which was reprinted in the Guardian, Gaiman came out in favor of what might be called the “just so long as they’re reading” camp. About a year ago, the novelist Neil Gaiman delivered a lecture at the Barbican, in London, on behalf of the Reading Agency, a not-for-profit organization that promotes literacy and reading for pleasure among children and adults.

Part of why I read so much nonfiction and history these days is because it seems increasingly difficult to find really good speculative fiction.

I mean, this is the first book in a trilogy, so it’s not the last we’ve heard of this world. Something I thought was interesting was how everything was wrapped up pretty well. He was a lot more bland than I would have liked. I found Lilac to be much more interesting than Tarver, and there were times where I wanted more of Lilac and less of Tarver. At least for a while, but Lilac does prove herself. I thought Lilac and Tarver were an interesting pairing, and while she was lucky to have crashed on a random planet with Tarver, he probably wished he was with someone else. I liked it, and the planet they land on is really creepy and deserted. This seemed like a good choice, and it really was!
