Red City.

Wow, I have seen so many mixed reviews on this on this book but I was completely blown away.

First off, third person is fantastic in this story. We follow two characters who are childhood friends but are unknowingly in opposite syndicates in the illusive sand industry. The magic system is really cool, Alchemy, allows people to be able to transform any matter into different materials but uses a fragment of their soul. The applications are really cool and numerous and I really enjoyed this. The storytelling was very vivid in my head and could really visualize it.

The world reminds me of Jady City or a godfather style story and I ATE IT UP.

The third person style really works for me here where the story is elevated and it made me love the characters even more. The romance and yearning in this book was so good! I would not consider this a romantasy cause I don't feel the whole point of the plot was the romance.

It had high stakes, cool magic, steamy romance, and characters to love.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK TWO.

This book is being slept on and is CRIMINALLY underhyped. GO READ IT.

This is officially on Alysha's hype team must read.

If you use the link on this to buy the book, I do get commision just fyi!
