Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody
5.0
This was one of the most unique books I've ever read! The setting, characters, lore, and story were all wonderful. I really enjoyed the mystery, twists, and turns were things I truly didn't see coming, and made for an exciting read. While the pace was a little slower than what I was used to, I was never bored or unfocused on what was happening, though it got a little tricky at times with the many side characters and politics.
Though not every side character gets a lot of time in the spotlight, the most compelling relationships with main character Sorina were Luca, her sister and mother, and of course her father figure (I'm writing this review at 1am so the names are escaping me). Each relationship was different from the next. Luca in particular was interesting as he created a romantic situation with Sorina.
I truly loved the magic and lore brought to this world, and the strength of Sorina. I found her easy to relate to and was constantly rooting for her. Yes she made mistakes but I never doubted her intelligence and her desire for love and to fit in. She is a great hero and I adored her.
This wasn't my usual fare, but I enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it for anyone who loves romantic mysteries with unique characters and carnivals!
