My review: ?????
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko is set in a world where people can be born with Hallows, a special skill, where the ruler has a council of eleven, and where ehru, djinn exist.
I’ve read the first 105 pages, and it was a really enjoyable YA fantasy. Tarisai is a young girl, whose mother is called The Lady, and who only appears occasionally, and then will leave again without explanation. Tarisiai is brought up in a palace, with none of the servants touching her as they don’t want her to steal their memories. This is her Hallow.
When she turns 11, her mother comes to her with 2 guardians, and also shows her a picture of a boy that she wants her to kill.
I really enjoyed the part of the book that I’ve read, and I look forward to reading the rest of it in the future!
If you’ve enjoyed Children of Blood and Bone, then you should get a copy of this!
Raybearer was published on 17th August 2020, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones, and from your local bookshop.
