Society of Wishes by Lynn Larsh, Elise Kova
4.0
Elise Kova has been on my radar for some time. The first book of her Air Awakens series has been on my TBR for some time, and I might actually read it this year now that I own a physical copy. I have also read most of her Loom Saga series (and just need to get my hands on, and read the 3rd and last book). So, when I heard that she’ll be teaming up with Lynn Larsh to start an NA fantasy series (around the same time that I decided that I wanted to read more NA in 2018), I knew that I had to apply for an ARC!
Well, I was accepted, and here we are! Before I get into everything, I just want to say this for readers who might have similar tastes to mine. (I always try to mention this when it happens, so that other readers don’t run into the same issue.) I believe that this will be one of those rare cases for me, where I will like later books in the series more than the first book in the series. And before everyone panics; this is not a bad thing! Kova and Larsh have created a very imaginative and creative setting in Society of Wishes, and the first book was devoted to setting up the rest of the story.
We met Josephina “Jo” Espinosa, and the other members of the Society. There was a lot of world building and explaining that had to go into the first book of the series as well. Despite all of this information that had to be shared with the reader, Kova and Larsh were also able to include an interesting plot (as well as some steaminess! oh my!) I feel like I got to get to know Jo and some of the other characters a little, but am not too worried, since the next book comes out this April (hurry for not having to wait a year for the next one!) I also like how Jo’s culture played a role in the book, and I also need to either make, or find a restaurant that serves sopapillas, because Jo made them sound so tasty!
The e-ARC that I received featured a sneak peek of the next book Circle of Ashes, and I’m very excited to see what happens there. I also found myself thinking about Society of Wishes a lot after finishing it, which is a good sign. I’m definitely hooked, you guys, and I recommend this book to those who enjoy new adult fantasy and super creative and fresh settings and stories!
