BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Nora (16yo) knows that she is an above average puller, but even she doesn’t realize how good she is until after sneaking into the palace to use the Ballutite stone there. Prince Kyn (17yo) disappointed his father by not detaining the girl who was in their kitchens in the middle of the night, but he didn’t think she was doing anything sinister. However, to prove himself to his father, Prince Kyn is determined to track her down and bring her back to the palace.
The simple magic system Nora uses is beautiful, and I love how Rupper describes it throughout the book. Nora has to make some tough decisions, and she does so with the intent – most of the time – to do what is right. The fire in her leads Nora to retaliate sometimes, but mostly she allows her fire to drive her forward even when she doesn’t know how things are going to turn out.
Nora, Limar, and Prince Kyn are all implied white. Beck is described as having “work-tanned” skin. The mature content rating is for intoxication and implied sexual harassment. The violence rating is for mention of suicide, battle scenes, and death.
