The Lightborn by Rebecca Zahabi
3.5
adventurous mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

3.5 rounded down 

This series was interesting, it's def a debut and I'm excited to see what the author writes in the future. The magic was really cool, and the world was fresh and for the most part interesting. I also quite liked the characters. 

But the plot in all 3 of these books was watery, and very meandering for me. What was there was solid, it just felt like we spent a long time getting to this place and frankly it didn't feel that high stakes. 

I had a good time. I'm excited to see what is next for this author but this series isn't my favourite per se.
