14 posts | 5 read | 14 to read
To save her sisters life, Faris must smuggle magic into a plague-ridden neighboring kingdom in this exciting and dangerous start to a brand-new fantasy duology. Faris grew up fighting to survive in the slums of Brindaigel while caring for her sister, Cadence. But when Cadence is caught trying to flee the kingdom and is sold into slavery, Faris reluctantly agrees to a lucrative scheme to buy her back, inadvertently binding herself to the power-hungry Princess Bryn, who wants to steal her fathers throne. Now Faris must smuggle stolen magic into neighboring Avinea to incite its prince to alliancemagic that addicts in the war-torn country can sense in her blood and can steal with a touch. She and Bryn turn to a handsome traveling magician, North, who offers protection from Avineas many dangers, but he cannot save Faris from Bryns cruelty as she leverages Cadences freedom to force Faris to do anythingor kill anyoneshe asks. Yet Faris is as fierce as Bryn, and even as she finds herself falling for North, she develops schemes of her own. With the fate of kingdoms at stake, Faris, Bryn, and North maneuver through a dangerous game of magical and political machinations, where lives can be destroyedor savedwith only a touch.

I was trying to decide what to return to the library by reading the first few pages of the books on my TBR shelf. This was a keeper.

Jas16 That would definitely make me read on. 6y

#NetGalley ARC out in August: I enjoyed this story and the magic of the world. Would have liked some more character depth with some of the side characters but overall an interesting start to a new series!

In Shimmer and Burn we meet Faris, a strong, independent and hardworking girl who wants to protect her sister, Cadance. In order to be happy and free, Faris want to escape from the kingdom in which she dwells: Brindaigel. However, it is believed that the surrounding territories are not safe once they have been consumed by a big plague.
