A review by lonelyhuman
Cast in Firelight by Dana Swift
4.0
The whole falling in love without knowing the real identity of the other person thing is one of my favorite tropes (it probably has another name). And I absolutely loved it in this book, even if it was kind of instalovey. I loved both of the characters, and I liked the way that the romance developed. I especially liked the way that both of the characters, but especially Jatin, were trying to keep their identities hidden. And I loved the revelation at the end I loved the magic system which was a twist on the classical elemental magic system with 9 different types of magic instead of 4, and people could control more than one of them if they had the ability which I found to be really unique.
The one thing about this book that I did not really like was the overall world. It was based on South Asia, and I feel like it’s either too much or too little. I feel like the author should either have used the general idea and stayed away from the names which made it more obvious or leaned into it more so that the world wasn’t so confusing.
