The first book is "Hero," by Perry Moore. I had some issues with the prose - I dunno, sometimes I find that men who write for teens adopt a sparse style that I kind of find hard to follow. So I had to work to get into it. But the characters were good and ultimately I found it a rewarding read. The second book is "Ill Wind," by Rachel Caine, and so far I'm liking the protagonist and the story.
