BOOK REVIEW ʍəıʌəɹ ʞooq BOOK REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Magic is extremely rare in the kingdom of Verchiel and those who can wield it are called Incarnates. They are worshiped gods deemed saints of the land. Leading the land, sometimes into ruin. After the sudden deaths of the previous leaders, a struggle for supremacy ensues between the Incarnates. Each has their own reasons for wanting to rule. We follow four new Incarnate. Gabriel, engaging in shady practices to get what he wants than ever feel powerless again. Zoe, has been determined to embark on a new path, since becoming an Incarnate. Niklas is an exiled prince from Bjoral, a land that sees him as a heska, trying to forget his past. And finally Silje, a killer who won’t stop until everyone adores her, wanting the love that she so desperately lacked. An Incarnation of Shadow and Light, gives me A Darker Shade of Magic vibes. I was immediately drawn to the premise and magic system of the book from the start. Each of the Incarnate takes the magic from either the sun or the moon. Zoe and Silje are Daughters of the Sun and Niklas and Gabriel are Sons of the Moon. Sun Incarnate is able to use its magic during the day. Having the ability to heal and have psychokinesis. Moon Incarnate is able to control the Shadows and Illusion, with Niklas having a special ice power. It was just a nice and solid fantasy book with elements that I liked, but I just didn’t love it. It is really hovering in the middle. S.A. Christianson really captures the atmosphere of the story. Allowing you to immerse yourself in the illusions at night, or the rays of the sun during the day. While it has some great points it was a little lack luster for me. I lost my interest mid way through the book, becoming bored with the story, and really wanting more contrast to the wonderful parts of the novel. I highly recommend this to fans of the series I mentioned above, and to anyone who appreciates complex, morally gray characters.
