I really enjoyed Sunbolt as a book that holds promise of a bigger story to come. I feel like we got a glimpse of the creatures and the land and the magic possible, and I’m excited to see where it’ll go next. 

Hitomi was a resourceful main character and, although not traditionally powerful, I feel like she grew into the challenges she was faced with. I think she also became braver as the book went on. 

I am interested in the side characters, such as Val and the Ghost. I feel like there are more stories waiting to be told there. 

The world and setting were well developed. There’s a history to it, and a vastness we haven’t seen yet. Magic exists, but I don’t think we know how it fits.

The book was really easy to read, and the plot kept me turning the page. 

I’ll be checking out the rest of the series!
