*4.2 stars*

This book is amazing! It has a fantastic mixture of intricate worldbuilding, excellent characters, and a nice magic system! There was only one thing that I disliked and it was crucial to the plot, so I had to give this book less than 4.5 stars.

First of all, the worldbuilding. It was so exquisite and I felt fully immersed the entire time. Jordan Ifueko presented us with an intricate magic and governmental system, plus amazing settings for each scene. Secondly, the characters. Tarisai is super cool and the core cast left nothing to be desired. Tarisai is fiery and headstrong. Next, I think the plot was interesting and unique - I've never a story quite like this one. I was pleasantly surprised by it!
The only thing I disliked was the whole memory loss situation. I hate when memory loss is used to further along the plot and it's very annoying. But that was the only thing I didn't like, thank goodness!

Soooooooooooooo glad I won an ARC of Redemptor, 'cause now I don't have to wait for it to come out next month! Review for it to come soon as well!
