The Review

The Title/Cover Draw:

  • I received this book as a gift from my friend Autumn and finally got around to reading it.

What I liked:

  • This book was very easy to follow. There was lots of action, likeable characters, and a storyline that didn’t bore me. It was just paced well and I wanted to know more about this school.

What I didn’t like:

  • I wanted to know more about some of the other sub characters like Theus and Lirelle. I am sure we will in the next books.

The Characters:

  • Nova is a cool and smart character. Her friend Ameline is also surprisingly deep which I didn’t expect/

The Ending:

  • This book feeds nicely into book 2, but I still have SO many questions.

Consider if you like:

  • Young Adult books, especially Harry Potter. 

All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Small Summary:

I am the firstborn in my family. The first of three. And today I will pay the price for my siblings’ lives by surrendering control of my own. I will step through the runegate, and I will never see my family again.

What the others do with the firstborn is shrouded in mystery. All anyone knows is they are never heard from again.

I will step through the runegate willingly.

But I can keep secrets too. And I’ll do whatever it takes to bring the others to their knees…
