War Hour by Lauren Loscig

5.0

First off let me start by saying this book is so good. A fast pace that had me moving right through because I needed to know what happened next.

Now-THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS!

This book is amazing right from the very start! Putting you directly into Lysta’s world. The way the magic is earned is so unique. Trials that if passed give magic determined by how you passed.
Initially when Lysta went into the trial she expected to fail and die, considering you are not allowed to talk about it afterwards there is no way to really prepare for it.
The way the story built up while also weaving a web of major surprises is very well written. I could guess a couple of things that were going to happen but not how they would happen. For example the major ending where Thoman tells her about Cenna her sister. I knew her sister would have a big part in this because of how many times she is referenced.
Then that she had to take a second trial?! I can absolutely tell she will be a powerful player in the next books. I can’t wait to see how she grows!
The ending was perfect. Just a great cliffhanger that makes me need the next book immediately.
