The Review
The Title/Cover Draw:
- I received this book as a gift from my friend Autumn and finally got around to reading it.
What I liked:
- This book was very easy to follow. There was lots of action, likeable characters, and a storyline that didn’t bore me. It was just paced well and I wanted to know more about this school.
What I didn’t like:
- I wanted to know more about some of the other sub characters like Theus and Lirelle. I am sure we will in the next books.
The Characters:
- Nova is a cool and smart character. Her friend Ameline is also surprisingly deep which I didn’t expect/
The Ending:
- This book feeds nicely into book 2, but I still have SO many questions.
Consider if you like:
- Young Adult books, especially Harry Potter.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Small Summary:
I am the firstborn in my family. The first of three. And today I will pay the price for my siblings’ lives by surrendering control of my own. I will step through the runegate, and I will never see my family again.
What the others do with the firstborn is shrouded in mystery. All anyone knows is they are never heard from again.
I will step through the runegate willingly.
But I can keep secrets too. And I’ll do whatever it takes to bring the others to their knees…
