Lunaria by Kara Douglas

✨ARC Review✨
(Thank you to the author and The Nerd Fam for giving me this ARC for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions are wholly my own)
“Only you can decide your future, you just have to be strong enough to take control of it.”
What a great debut novel! This book gave me the same feelings that ACOTAR did when I read it for the first time. I will say that it didn’t pick up until about 25% though. There was a lot of world building and a bit of info dump. I think much of it was important to build up Amiras character, however, I do think it could have been condensed a little. The actual conflict to the story wasn’t really shown until you hit that 25-30% mark. Once you hit that point though, it was fast paced the rest of the way through. And that plot twist?!? *chefs kiss*
With all of that being said, Lunaria really was a great book. I found my self falling in love the characters and I actually loved that the book wasn’t that predictable. I didn’t really have any idea which way it was going to go. I had some theories somewhat early on. But, none had anything to do with the direction the book went. I 100% would recommend Lunaria to any Fantasy reader. I was trying to think of a book to compare it to and I couldn’t. It’s unique in its own way. I’m reeling after the plot twist and ending of this one. I can’t wait for the next book to come!
