I received a copy of this book from Book Sirens in exchange for an honest review.
Fiona Ember and a group of Flame clan members take part in an assassination attempt on one of the most powerful members of the Water clan, the Auspex. Fiona finds herself captured and stripped of her magic. She is given the option to live and demonstrate her value or be executed. The Auspex can see the future and alludes to a future which will be beneficial for both of them. Can Fiona play her part and survive in enemy territory in order to get her magic back?
What I liked about this book
- The idea of the clans and the magic - the way this is presented is really quite unique and interesting.
- The writing - Ella's writing is structured, coherent and easy to read.
- The character development - the characters are really well developed. Their personalities and motivations are described perfectly so that you gain a clear picture of who the characters are.
What I didn't like
- The theme of slavery throughout the book - I think this statement speaks for itself.
- The lack of action - about the first three quarters of the book is world, character and relationship building. This is of course necessary but i just wish there was a bit more action sprinkled throughout the book.
Despite the things above, I found myself drawn into the book and routing for the relationships. I intend to read the next one to find out how the story moves on.
3.75 stars
