Our February theme is . . . INTO THE FIRE!
Our chosen book this month is a xianxia-inspired YA fantasy. In a world where colonisation has crushed the magic system of the land, a girl with a mysterious past must confront the secrets locked within her memory and the untranslatable mark on her arm. With the help of a boy she is reluctant to trust, and the enemy hunting them down, will they be able to achieve their goals?
We are obsessed with these characters you can’t help but root for, and the ending of the book left us SCREAMING.
