dahabow 's review for:
Incendiary
by Zoraida Córdova
Where do I begin? Seriously, I was lucky enough to receive a Netgalley eARC and I had no idea what this book was about and funny enough, it made it so much more exciting to read. Though I'm guessing if you're here already, you know its inspired by the Spanish Inquisition and that it follows Renata Convida, who I would do almost anything for.
The story is gripping from the very beginning and theres so much mystery that Zoraida weaves so beautifully, which keeps you wanting more and having almost as many questions as dear Ren. Despite the betrayals, heartbreak, endless tears this book elicited, the real tear jerker was witnessing Ren come into collision with her multiple identities - as a Robari, a Whisper and a girl. She goes through this difficult journey of self-love and her survivors guilt (and guilt over her past) is her biggest enemy. Shes not the type to carry herself with ease and that's okay. She is, however, very courageous and one of the smartest YA characters I've come across in a while. Her brain works wonders, attempting to discover the weapon that can destroy the Whispers.
One of the lines that hurt me was when she says:
“Because I have more stolen memories than ones of my own making. Because I have lived hundreds of stolen lives, and I’m afraid to live my own.”
Who is Renata Convida?
Suffice to say, I'm excited to see where her journey takes her next especially with her new friend ***. This is a series that will live in my heart and I'm so grateful that I got to read about Renata and fall for her.
