YA, Fantasy, Historical Fiction
The thrilling first book in a YA
fantasy trilogy for fans of Red Queen. In a world where social prestige derives
from a trifecta of blood, money, and magic, one girl has the ability to break
the spell that holds the social order in place.
Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden is
barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the
Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the
simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course
when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important
chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds
herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.
Her life might well be over.
In Hungary, Anna discovers that
nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin
Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all
her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her
lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t
seem to stop herself from breaking spells.
As rebellion spreads across the
region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company
of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romanies, Anna must choose: deny her unique
power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and
change that world forever.
My Thoughts
The synopsis says this is for fans of Red Queen. Well, guess who’s a major fan of Red Queen? Moi. I’m not a huge fan of historical fiction, but I
think I can see past that if this book is as epic as the magic system sounds.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
Been seeing this one around a lot! Getting curious about it! Hope you enjoy it!

Really? Huh. I rarely see it anywhere. Guess I need to follow some of the blogs you do. :)
DeleteThis one is SO popular, for a pre-published debut book! I feel like the hype is going to hurt my experience with this one - but in any case, I'm reading it next week regardless. :D I miss the light blue cover but the white cover is cool too. I hope you love this book when you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Shell. =)
