Many thanks to @prhinternational for e-copy via #NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. Cast in Firelight (Wickery #1) by Dana Swift Publication Date : January 19th 2021 Publisher : Delacorte Press Genre : Fantasy / YA Pages : 448 Ratings : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was impressive debut YA fantasy romance that revolved around two fiercely competitive heirs to be married getting entangled in web of love and dangerous plot. The story was about politics, magic, friendship, betrayal, lies, secrets, preconceptions, finding light among darkness, resilience, courage, and putting safety of country above all. Plot was action packed, adventurous and fun. Both Adraa and Jatin were flawed and realistic. Their jealousy for each other that driven them to be competitive was genuine and perspicuous. Family dynamic and secondary characters were great. World was interesting. It wasn’t highly described as the plot and romance was more on focus than world. We are introduced to world gradually as story progressed with only necessary information. I generally prefer more world building but I think less/only necessary info worked well here. Romance was best part. I enjoyed reading this hate-to-lovers and arranged marriage trope along with hidden identity. All amazing trope in one book was sure going to win over me. Overall, Cast in Firelight was impressive, well written, action-packed, and adventurous YA fantasy romance. I highly recommend this if you enjoy, Hidden identity trope Hate-to-lovers trope arranged marriage trope political conspiracy fiery and feisty main character Interesting magical world with no info dump and only necessary info Well written romance Wizards and Witches QOTD - What you think about authors writing book on different culture than their own? #BooksTeacupandReviews #BookReview #CastinFirelight #Wickery #DanaSwift #DelacortePress #PenguinRandomHouse #Fantasy #YA #YAFantasy #Romance #FantasyRomance #Indianbookstagram #bookreviewblog #momwhoreads #bookblog #bookstagramfeature #bookaesthetic #reader #IndianBookBlogger #bookreviewercommunity #bookcommunity #bookgram #Fantasybooks #yaread #YABook #bookrec #ipreview via @preview.app (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRRDIdLLOes/?utm_medium=tumblr
