A review by girlglitch
Incendiary by Zoraida Córdova
3.0
Incendiary is a new YA fantasy series starter full of action, secrets and magic. I loved the concept, the Moria's powers of enchantment and the vivid setting in a fantastical 15th century Spain - although I felt some of the worldbuilding came a little too late. The story only really comes to life after the first third of the novel. After a slow start, I was relieved when the pace picked up and the focus shifted from mopey characterisation to plot. Suddenly, Incendiary alights into a heartracing adventure, and Renata becomes a worthy heroine.
There are plenty of twists and turns - and enough clues along the way to keep it interesting. By the final third of the novel, all the pieces are starting to come together, leading to a final, adrenaline-filled climax.
Incendiary is not the strongest or most original fantasty I have ever read, but it hooked me enough that I'd look out for the sequel.
*Thank you to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review*
