4 Stars
I have never read anything by this author, but I loved this
book so much that I immediately bought the second book after I finished the
first. In fact, I think I like the
second one even better!
Sora is the main character.
She is a noble, but part of the second tier. This simply means she is a lower class of
nobility. She has never traveled off her
father’s manor and her father is rarely present. However, when we first meet her, she is
preparing for her 17th birthday party and her father (and many first
tier nobles will be present). The
purpose is for Sora to acquire a husband.
It is this night, that Sora decides she will run away. She plans to leave after her big dance
(called “the blooming”). Her plans don’t
go as expected as she is kidnapped before she can even runaway. Sora finds herself plunged into a world of
magic. She thought magic had died
decades ago, but finds that the five races are all dead and her mother’s
necklace (the cat’s eye) is very powerful on its own. It is because of this necklace that her
kidnapper won’t let her leave. She ends
up traveling hard and fast with her kidnappers, learning how to protect herself
and living off the land. She always
wanted adventure, but she pictures it a little more luxuriously than she is
experiencing it. By the end of the book,
she is no longer a prisoner, and her band of kidnappers has grown smaller. When they leave her, she is actually hurt and
wants to be with them.
