The Burning Sky The Burning Sky

Publisher Description

Magic, romance, and intrigue combine in this extraordinary novel—the first in the Elemental Trilogy—for fans of Cinda Williams Chima and Kristin Cashore. Publishers Weekly called it "a wonderfully satisfying magical saga" in a starred review, and Kirkus Reviews said it "bids fair to be the next big epic fantasy success."

Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's been told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of the Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the most powerful tyrant and mage the world has ever known. This would be a suicide task for anyone, let alone a reluctant sixteen-year-old girl with no training.

Guided by his mother's visions and committed to avenging his family, Prince Titus has sworn to protect Iolanthe even as he prepares her for their battle with the Bane. But he makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the tyrant closing in, Titus must choose between his mission—and her life.

This Is My Name!! ,

Very Good All Around

Actual Rating: 4.5 but I rounded up because it works.

This story has two strong leads in the book who banter back and forth in good humor. I rarely come across leads that I like so for me to say something like that is pretty odd, but good! Light romance which means no mushy overkill which tends to happens a lot in YA literature. Added points there! The settings include a magical realm and England during the Victorian Era. The setting descriptions and villains/villain motives were weak, but ok none the less. I would strongly recommend!
