Book 1: Obernewtyn
In this book, Obernewtyn is a place where Misfits are taken to be tested on and enslaved. This is quite different from the other books in the series.
Elspeth Gordie is a Misfit, a child born with a mutation that is not immediately clear at birth. She lives in an orphanage, keeping her mutant ability to see the thoughts and memories of all animals from everyone except for her brother. Then a lady from Obernewtyn comes to search the orphanage for Misfits, who are to be taken to Obernewtyn to live. Elspeth is discovered and taken to Obernewtyn, where a large group of other Misfits are waiting for her. The rulers of Obernewtyn, who are mean and cruel, are searching for the same ability that Elspeth has. Elspeth sets off on an adventure inside the walls of Obernewtyn to discover the truth of Obernewtyn.
At some points in this book I got a bit distracted, but not for long. It's mostly exciting, and my favourite book out of the series so far. I like it because the danger of Obernewtyn in the first book adds extra excitement.
