*Thank you to the author for sending me a copy of their book in exchange for a honest review*
Where do I begin with this book? I gotta say, I had my doubts but this book yall! IT. WAS. AMAZING. This was probably the best book I have read in the last year and a half.
So, in a world of seven elements, when Ethan tests out of all seven of them, he is offically a rouge. So, the council decides to do what they always do, kill him. But Ethan doesn't. The Council tries everything until they realize Ethan may be more special than they orginally thought. But the story doesn't stop there, as now the human race wants war on the elementist and won't take defeat as an answer.
The world building? Amazing. I was all in the world of the council and the elementist world. The backstory for this dystopia made sense. Another race that is a genetic mutation of humans that have3 there own country up in the sky above the rest of the world? totally seems realstic. Though the plot sounds very repetitive (2014 dystopian era who?) Incomplete stands out, as yes it has the chosen trope but it doesn't beat it into the ground. The book takes a very different approach to the trope and fits into the plot perfectly that is still constantly building in the novel.
The magic system? perfectly built. It's realistic. I feel with a lot of the Si Fi/Fanasty novels power doesn't come with a price, and in Incomplete the characters face challenges due to the cost of their power and it works perfectly.
I also loved how each of the elements themselves are different than the typical ones we see. Like a fortune element? I have never seen that- not in any kind of fantasy or dystopian/Si-fi novel. It makes the book stand out majorly.
Literally the only complaint I have about this is as much as I love the world building-there was almost too much of it. The book was little hard to read- but aren't most high fanasty novels?
I think the author has a amazing debut on their hands and think they have huge potential for a five, maybe even six book series. I applaud them for making such a stunning debut.
