𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀 & 𝓖𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓪𝔀𝓪𝔂⁣ ⁣ Hello book loves! I recently finished Her Crown of Fire by Renee April (thank you to Write Plan for my gifted copy #partner). ⁣ ⁣ Rose thinks she’s a typical teenage girl until she realizes she can command fire. After trying to show her mom and grandmother, they think she’s clinically insane. Rose escapes with her non magical best friend Tyson in tow only to end up in Lotheria...a realm where magic reigns but darkness looms. ⁣ ⁣ Lotheria is frighteningly dark, and the author doesn’t shy away from gore and violence. The world building is incredible. I loved the magic and the secrets surrounding the Academy. There’s so much betrayal and sacrifice in this book. Every time I thought I finally understood where the plot was going, more twists, turns, and revelations where thrown my way. ⁣ ⁣ Overall, Her Crown of Fire is an amazing debut dripping with magic, blood, betrayal, and secrets. I can’t wait happens next! (4/5 ⭐️’s) ⁣ ⁣ 📖 Available November 1st! ⁣ ⁣ I’m giving away my ARC (US only, sorry!).⁣ ⁣ To enter:⁣ 📖 Like this post and tag a friend (unlimited; just tag new people). ⁣ ⁣ Giveaway ends Thursday October 24th at 5 pm EST. Winner will be announced shortly after.
