Synopsis: Liora has spent her
life in hiding, knowing discovery could mean falling prey to the king's
warlock, Darius, who uses mages' magic to grow his own power. But when
her worst nightmare comes to pass, Darius doesn't take her. Instead, he
demands that her younger sister return to the capital with him. To make
matters worse, Evran, Liora's childhood friend and the only one who
knows her secret, goes missing following Darius's visit, leaving her
without anyone to turn to.
To find Evran and to save her sister,
Liora must embrace the power she has always feared. But the greatest
danger she'll face is yet to come, for Darius has plans in motion that
will cause the world to fall into chaos--and Liora and Evran may be the
only ones who can stop him.
A witch who must learn to harness her power--or risk losing her loved ones forever. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I love the cover of Luminous, that's what first caught my eye about this book. I was further hooked when I knew it involved witches, magic, and peril!
One of the best parts about this book was the magic, how it all worked and the secrecy that surrounded everything. I really enjoyed all the thought that went into that and learning about it.
I thought this was a really solid book. I definitely enjoyed my time reading it. I was always wondering what was going to happen next. It had a really good pace to the story.
There is also some romance in here, which I wasn't mad at. It's YA romance, so nothing scandalous. Liora did have a lot of tension with Darius, but he's not the best guy. She's also got a thing for Evran who is much more sweet.
I liked this. I'm definitely going to have to read the author's previous works because I've heard great things about them. This was a good time.
