This is Book 1 of the Stealing Sanctuary Series.
Oh my goodness... what a book!
It's kind of a mash up between dystopian society meets fantasy and oh boy, does it work!
We follow Kiera (curious of magic) as she accidently breaks the law and stumbles into the mysterious land of Etabon. To save herself and her future, she has to play a series of dangerous events!
Kiera is an incredibly fierce character and loyal, too. As a YA novel, it is absolutely brilliant to showcase a strong female lead as she becomes a role model to the reader.
The world that Christina creates is detailed and very, very different. Etabon is just magical and fantastical with a massive dollop of danger - it draws you in and to a degree, I'd love to visit!
An incredible start to Christina's brand new YA Fantasy Series! I can't wait to for Book 2!
Highly recommend!
