If you want a youthful throwback to Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, a nod to the asymmetrical timelines and character compositions with shifting perspectives and periods, if you thrive on the promise of a rebellion, haunted by its past and buried secrets that chnage the nature and course of the kingdom, then you are going to LOVE Jesse Sutanto's latest series opener!
Mara is locked away in an institute, learning how to be an assassin, whilst drawn to Lia, her stellar, amazingly strong fellow student, who hopes to be an Emissary for the institute, a hidden sanctuary fighting the Divine Empress..
Livya is the blissfully ignorant daughter of the scient who orchestrated the doom of the Dracerium element, creating Adther, the new foundation of Veliguard, caught in a kidnapping web and trying to wrench her own destiny free of political machinations.
Kian Xi, is a street Artist, with earth connections, drawn to Livya and disrupts her kidnapping, whilst rekindling their youthful kinship and wondering at her scientific bend of mind...
Between the Prestige and the ruling factum, the Vigils who patrol the city, armed with Adther and the Knights guardind Ezeri's Church and Minster, the story ranges and rages against mystery, political upheaval and massive shifts in the nature of what is and what was, that leave my profoundly shaken... cannot wait for the revelations to follow...
My artful thank yous to Avon and harper Voyager and Netgalley for approving this ARC!
