I don't even have words. I somehow became so incredibly invested in this book and the characters! I loved that we got so much of Kestrin and Alyrra in this one, and I really liked Rae! I was so curious how this would go and while I did predict one thing, the ending has left me REELING and I am off to see if I can get a copy of the next book IMMEDIATELY 😅 
Anyways this is a really well done fantasy! I am rounding up for GR, even though I think there are parts that could have been trimmed a bit. But a fantastic read!!

 Premise: 

Snatchers have been taking children from all around the country for years, but when they strike close to home Rae decides she must do something. After joining her cousin in court and making a few unlikely friends, Rae starts a dangerous investigation into the secrets of the snatchers. But what she finds might just be too big a conspiracy for her to handle. 

Review:

I just loved this book, from the character to the plot everything just kept me engaged and wanting to read more. Every time I put the book down I was already looking forward to when I could pick it back up again. Just marvellous.

The main character, Rae, was such a strong, bold and powerful character and personality. She knew what she wanted and stuck to it, always stopping to help people whenever they needed it. I also loved how she interacted with her disability and how she reacted to other peoples reaction to it. Do what she could do with her disability, working with it and not against it, accepting it as a part of who she is. 

I need to know what happened to Rae and how this amazing story is resolved, for Intisar Khanani is an evil genius for that cliff-hanger. The second I can buy the next book in this series I will for this story and Khanani’s writing is amazing. 

If you are looking for a story that is adventurous, emotional, mysterious, sad, tense and has a cliff-hanger that will make you curse the author, Theft of Sunlight is for you.
