So, I was really excited about this book when I heard about it, but I have to say unfortunately I don’t think it was for me. I don’t want to be too critical but the writing style really didn’t work for me personally, I didn’t feel anything for any of the characters, and I feel like the book was trying too hard to be politically relevant and poignant. The messages it was trying to teach were very simplistic and in your face, and while the messages themselves were good they didn’t always seem to align with the characters’ actions and attitudes. There was no nuance.
I recognize that I am probably just not the target audience for this book, but I did not enjoy it.
As a big avatar fan, I had to try this book and it pleasantly surprised me!
Where at first I was still looking for many clues to Avatar, the story increasingly took on a world of its own the further I got into the book.
The powers are different and mainly the politics in the world created by Zoiy I found positively surprising.
Even the names of various characters that I found quite cringe at first, were explained.
You follow the story from two POVs. This book is really written for YA, so I recommend it to the younger audience.
I am looking forward to book two!
What an incredibly power fantasy world! There are kingdoms and queendoms! This story follows our FMC, an air mage named Alisio Skylor. She's on the run after being wrongly accused for crimes she didn't commit after the murder of her parents. And then there's our MMC, Prince Esko who is from the Earth queendom.
This story was so good, you should honestly just read it for yourself!!
