A Shadow Bright and Burningby Jessica Cluess

Henrietta Howel has
the power to burst into flames. She has to hide this power, but when
she is forced to reveal it to save her friends, she is not executed,
but taken in to train as a sorcerer. She is taken to London and
declared the chosen one, but is she really? As she plays her game of
deception, she must also train with a group of male sorcerers, fight
terrifying monsters, and save the city and the one she loves from
destruction. I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the author took
the basic “chosen one” book trope and put a spin on it. I also
liked how there were some characters that you started off with one
feeling towards them, and then ended with a completely different
feeling about them. I really enjoyed the main
character—Henrietta—because she wasn’t really your typical
protagonist. She did a lot of sneaking around and at times seemed
like she was playing the system, which only made her more of a
badass character. I can’t wait for the next book in this series! I
would recommend this book for fantasy lovers because it combines
awesome magic with strange yet terrifying demon-monsters.
