Overall, I liked this book, but I couldn't quite love it. The story and world-building were great, with a group of rebellious teen thieves going up against a corporation in a world plagued with earthquakes, natural disasters, and dangerous magic. I liked the combination of technology and magic - there are techwitches and devices that run on magic. What I found frustrating is the central character of Diz, who (likely because of being orphaned at a young age) lacks confidence in her relationships with her friends and spends much of the book thinking they were about to abandon her or were mad at her. I really wanted her to work through some of her emotions a little quicker, but I guess she and her friends were somewhat distracted by their attempts to save the world. I suspect this book is the first in a series and I might just have to continue reading to discover more about this world. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: From the author of The Disasters, this genre-bending YA fantasy heist story is perfect for fans of Marie Lu and Amie Kaufman. In Kyrkarta, magicâ??known as mazâ??was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that's tightly controlledâ??and, of course, outrageously expensive. Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever. But when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they're driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplagueâ??and possibly save the world.

6/10, I picked this up from one of the two libraries I go to and one of them didn't have it however the other one did and this was one of three new books that arrived at the time I read this and one of them so far underwhelmed me, another one didn't and this one did since I found so many issues with this; where do I even begin? It starts with the main character Diz and she lives in a world where magic or maz (I'm cringing at this) is limited and a corporation has tight control over it. There are 14 types of magic at least according to the book like fire and water but there's one more the characters will discover. The story was very predictable and much like Green Rising (the characters just save the world from climate change due to fossil fuels magic drilling operations.) Technically magic is a fossil fuel in this world since the book said that it's a limited resource, I don't understand why they couldn't have just used renewable energy or something like that. The main character was honestly very annoying because she acted aggressively towards her friends (like swearing at them and telling them to screw off), why can't they stop making friends with her if she treats them like that?
Go read Dune or the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, for a better YA sci-fi novel. ( )
