Goodreads Summary:
Before
Mira Minkoba is the Hopebearer. Since the day she was born, she’s been told she’s special. Important. Perfect. She’s known across the Fallen Isles not just for her beauty, but for the Mira Treaty named after her, a peace agreement which united the seven islands against their enemies on the mainland.
But Mira has never felt as perfect as everyone says. She counts compulsively. She struggles with crippling anxiety. And she’s far too interested in dragons for a girl of her station.
After
Then Mira discovers an explosive secret that challenges everything she and the Treaty stand for. Betrayed by the very people she spent her life serving, Mira is sentenced to the Pit–the deadliest prison in the Fallen Isles. There, a cruel guard would do anything to discover the secret she would die to protect.
No longer beholden to those who betrayed her, Mira must learn to survive on her own and unearth the dark truths about the Fallen Isles–and herself–before her very world begins to collapse.
My Thoughts:
I'm a fan of Jodi Meadows "The Orphan Queen and The Mirror King" and I didn't realize this series was out in the world until earlier this year. I kind of disappeared from the book world. Anyway I loved this story.
Being able to see a main character with anxiety was nice because as a reader with anxiety, I could understand everything that Mira was going through. Learning to adapt and not let her anxiety rule everything she did and every little decision rocked. And we have dragons! Dragons! I loved that the dragons play such an important role to Mira and the story and how much they mean to the Seven Isles. Seeing the dragons and the role that Lex had was pivotal in how much Mira discovered about herself.
I know this is short but I'm a little rusty and I can't wait to continue the series soon.
Until next time!
