I think there’s much more of Bastian yet to come. I love his relationship with Amora and how they mirror each other. Bastian is super loveable, he starts off as a mysterious pirate but has great growth over the course of the book. Amora wants to redeem her family’s name and save the Kingdom from this new threat. She’s forced to make some hard decisions and has a strong moral compass. Amora is really relatable and has a brilliant arc. I particularly love Amora, Bastian and Vataea. The characterisation in this book is brilliant, they have great depth and you cannot help but be swept away by them.
The Kingdom is in ruin and a dangerous magic is rising and it’s down to Amora to save them all. Her performance goes horribly wrong, she’s imprisoned and to redeem herself and prove that she is fit to rule, she teams up with a pirate called Bastian and together, they flee Arida.Īmora has always wanted to sail the seas to see the Kingdom she will one day rule but in doing so, she sees that things aren’t quite as she pictured. Amora has one final hurdle to overcome and that is a live performance of her soul magic, proving that she has mastered it and is fit to reign. Welcome to Arida! Amora Montara is the heir to the Kingdom and is training to take over from her father to become the High Animancer – the master of souls. There are certain books which hook you from the get go and this is one of them. But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder-and more peril-than Amora anticipated.Ī destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she’ll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stow-away she never expected… or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever. She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he’ll help her prove she’s fit to rule, if she’ll help him reclaim his stolen magic. When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee. To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy’s dangerous soul magic. The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it’s never been a choice. I loved it and hope you do too!Īs princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer-the master of souls. This was a really fun, dark, immersive and adventurous book.
