Ellinor Rask has wanted one thing for the past eight years: vengeance. But when Ellinor is captured, she finds herself dragged back into the world she walked away from, entangled once more with friends she would rather forget. As if that weren't humiliating enough, Ellinor learns first hand that her magic can be stripped away by a piece of bio-tech-and her ex-boss is happy to leash her with the technology in order to get what he wants. If Ellinor behaves, the device will be removed. All she has to do is deliver a package. One containing a creature created from raw magical energy and discarded technology. Simple, right? But when her goals start getting people murdered, Ellinor has to decide if the year's planning, her honor, and even her own magic, are worth the lives it's costing. Dodging ruthless gangsters, she finds herself on the run with a creature of immeasurable magical abilities alongside her one-time friends. Now, Ellinor must relearn to trust the people she once abandoned. She must put her faith in technology, and her life in the hands of independent contractors, all while racing to deliver the package before it gets taken by force, or worse, the creature decides to make an appearance itself.

Ellinor Olysha Rask is a feisty warrior on a mission to avenge the murder of her beloved husband, Misho. She holds two parties responsible for the tragedy; the real perpetrators, a bunch of rogue androids, and her former employer, Cosmin, a powerful mafia boss. Her pursuit of vengeance hits a snag when Cosmin abducts her and forces her to take on one last task. She must deliver a coveted magical creature to another mob boss or lose her magical powers forever. Now having to work with her former team she walked away from years ago, Ellinor's mission is turned on its head when mutiny erupts within the squad. She soon finds herself having to make a difficult decision. Should she complete the task and inch closer to getting her pound of flesh or walk away and learn to live again?
Resistor by C.E Clayton draws its essence from both sci-fi and fantasy genres, but it leans more towards fantasy. Tantalizing fantasy, I must say. The fast-paced, action-packed story is set in Eerden, a fantastic world with intriguing features. The planet's weird creatures, alongside the fusion of magical and techy stuff, add a burst of color to the story.
The story is one of those "kick ass now, ask questions later" types, and the action is just gripping. At the end of the book, Clayton talks about getting some help from a video game designer, and the book reflects it. From the weapons the characters wield to their combat skills and battle maneuvers, you could tell a true initiate had a hand in creating them. These features are only rivaled by the banter some of the characters often engaged in.
Speaking of characters, I really liked Ellinor, but Kai was the one who simply stole my heart. He's this big, sweet giant with a tender heart. Think of Hagrid in Harry Potter but with a bigger funny bone. You'd love him.
You could really tell that a lot of effort went into making this book as vivid as possible. While Clayton pays almost obsessive attention to detail, you still only get to know what's necessary. And her choice of words pulls you in. It brings you closer to the action as she tells a tale of love, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, and heartwarming camaraderie.
Resistor is a well-told story for me. I'd recommend it in a jiffy to lovers of action-packed fantasy, and I genuinely look forward to the sequels.
