United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia.
The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks—refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister’s son—cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful—and the way forward becomes less clear.
Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
My review
This was one of my most anticipated book and it did not disappoint. It had a really interesting plot as it was the first book I read where magic was a virus and an outbreak and it was very unique.
This book follows Noam as there is an outbreak of a magic virus and he survives it. He is now known as a witchling and gets taken under a former king’s wing. He wants to help refugees and gets caught up in politics.
The world was very well developed and I want to know a lot more about it. It was very interesting to know about the history of the world and how it got to the point it did I found the writing to be really good and easy to follow. This book reminded me very much of classic dystopian and I very much enjoyed that. As i said the magic system was very unique and not everyone can withstand magic in there body and it was interesting to see how biology was mixed into the world. I liked how small clippings of news story or something integral to the plot was inserted
I really liked the main character, Noam. He was very well developed and he was fighting for his people.I also found Dara to be an intriguing character and want to know more about his history and what he went through.I also really liked the love to hate kind of relationship going on! I feel like one of the supporting characters could have been more developed because we didn’t get to know them enough. I had a suspicion on who the the main villain was but I kept going back and forth on who it was. I have a comparison to another villain in mind but that would give too much away. I don’t know why but he gave me those vibes.
I really enjoyed this book overall and can’t wait to read the next book in the series and what else Victoria puts out. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy and books set in a futuristic settings.
4/5
