"Stealing Phoenix" by Joss Stirling

I am now reading the sequel to "Finding Sky" called "Stealing Phoenix". It follows the story of Yves Benedict, Zed's brother and how he finds his soulfinder Phoenix (Phee for short). Phee has been brought up by a community of bad savants who are made to steal things for the Seer who is the leader of the community. He makes all of the savants go and steal things with his powers and then he sells the stolen goods for money on the black market. Phee has never been to school though she is incredibly streetwise and has amazing common sense. Yves and Phee met while she was trying to steal something from him. Phee is the Seers best thief because of her power which is to freeze time for a few seconds, just enough to steal objects. So as she was stealing from Yves, he seemed aware of what was happening and broke her time freeze as he is her soulfinder. Yves power is the power to set things on fire with his mind, and when his emotions get out of control (if he loses his temper) he will set fire to anything. Phee comes from a really awful background and finds it really hard to trust people so when Yves told her about the soul finder thing she freaked out and tried to escape from him. Though slowly she is warming up to him and trusting more and more. I can't wait to read more. I love this series. I hope Phee will learn to trust Yves and will have the courage to leave her community.
