The Finisher

I am reading The Finisher, by David Baldacci .The main character is Vega Jane. She is a risk taker. She went up the forbidden stairs at the Stacks and she thinks about running away into the Quag. Vega Jane is mostly alone. Her parents shrunk and they can’t move or talk. At one point in the story they die. Vega Jane misses them terribly. Her  younger brother John may become one of the smartest wugs (person) alive. He is a the youngest member of the council. Delph is Vega Jane’s best friend. He has a crush on her, though he is not talking to her at the moment.

I haven’t finished the book yet, but there have been some important events in the story so far.  Vega Jane goes to her past by a magical key. She gets a spear called destin and a magical rock called the adder rock that can heal and grant any wish expect ill for another person. Another important event is when Quinten Herms goes missing at the beginning of the story. Vega Jane sees him run off into the Quag. The Quag is like a forbidden forest full of garms (beasts).

I really like the book and I would recommend it to people who like fantasy. Vega Jane lives in a unique fantasy world. It has beasts (garms), a Quag, outliners, and mysterious floors to stack.
