Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani

5.0

I greatly look forward the next installment in this series!

Sunbolt is a treasure. The first and second halves of the story feel a bit different to me; the first part was fine, the second was amazing! Pretty much once Hitomi gets thrown in with Val. I loved the dynamic between those two, I loved what happens to Hitomi once the book's title comes into play - the ashes and cinders, memories seared from her mind, the promise (Promise?) of learning to hone her craft in order to prepare herself to meet the antagonist on more even footing and to finally uncover the truth about her family's past. This novella has set us up for what Promises to be a wonderful ride.
