Colors of Fear by Hannah Heath
4.0
This was such a lovely introduction to a fascinating world!
Wanderer, a desert elf from a region embroiled in war, does not want to follow in his father's footsteps. He doesn't want to join the ranks of the Warriors--a military branch with more deaths than victories. He also doesn't want to stay home and watch his brother die of the same sickness that has left Wanderer wracked with strange visions of colors overlapping his world.
He hopes to join the ranks of the Hunters--another branch of the military that will give him a chance to survive long enough to make a difference in the war. But the world is more complex than is easy to judge at first glance, and there's a chance that Wanderer is supposed to do something greater.
I really love Wanderer. Though it was initially difficult to picture, there was a visceral quality to the way he saw colors overlapping every part of the world--the way they could be sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting. His pain, rage and fear made perfect sense, and I loved how they could be so raw while he still remained likeable.
Also, I'm really intrigued by the world as a whole--there's so much more to explore.
This was a super fun read! Looking forward to picking up the next few books in the series :D
