BOOK INFORMATION
Incendiary (Hollow Crown #1) by Zoraida Córdova Publisher: Disney-Hyperion Release Date: April 28th 2020 Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy SYNOPSIS I am Renata Convida. I have lived a hundred stolen lives. Now I live my own. Renata Convida was only a child when she was kidnapped by the King's Justice and brought to the luxurious palace of Andalucia. As a Robari, the rarest and most feared of the magical Moria, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people. Now Renata is one of the Whispers, rebel spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria escape the kingdom bent on their destruction. The Whispers may have rescued Renata from the palace years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred--or the overpowering memories of the hundreds of souls she turned "hollow" during her time in the palace. When Dez, the commander of her unit, is taken captive by the notorious Sangrado Prince, Renata will do anything to save the boy whose love makes her place among the Whispers bearable. But a disastrous rescue attempt means Renata must return to the palace under cover and complete Dez's top secret mission. Can Renata convince her former captors that she remains loyal, even as she burns for vengeance against the brutal, enigmatic prince? Her life and the fate of the Moria depend on it. But returning to the palace stirs childhood memories long locked away. As Renata grows more deeply embedded in the politics of the royal court, she uncovers a secret in her past that could change the entire fate of the kingdom--and end the war that has cost her everything.

You know that hesitant feeling you get when you read a book by an author whose books you've never read before? You have to deal with a whole new writing style and get used to the way they tell a story. Leading with an open mind, somewhere along the way that feeling may take you to a destination that either surprises or disappoints you. If I were an Illusionari, I would make 4 sparkling stars dance around Zoraida Córdova and her new YA fantasy novel, Incendiary, because I was delightfully surprised how much I enjoyed the political intrigue, the plot twists, and how unique the story is from the hundreds of fantasy novels I've read.
Though predictable in some areas, especially with the "enigmatic" and despicable Prince Castian, I enjoyed the semi-enemies-to-lovers trope Zoraida sets up and I'm desperately clinging to the hope that my guess is right about the love interest. I'm thrilled to get my hands on the second book because the ending was set up brilliantly for the second book in what I hope will be a longer series! Read an ExcerptFavorite QuotesEnter the Giveaway!
