Book Review: Burn the Kingdom Down by Addie Thorley

 Book: Burn the Kingdom Down by Addie Thorley

Genre: YA Romantasy

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


In this really awesome YA romantasy, we have two kingdoms with completely different magic and cultures. One lives in a cold mountain and those with magic can move the earth. The other lives in the warm earth and those with magic can cultivate plants. And they both need each other survive.

Our main character, Indira, comes from the gardener kingdom and her sister is forced to marry into the mountain kingdom in order to keep the pact going between the kingdoms. When she suspiciously dies, Indira is forced to take her place. 

And she is determined to use this opportunity to find out what really happened and make the mountain kingdom pay! 

But what she finds there is not at all what she expects. 

This story starts out with a great hook and just gets better and better. I was glued to the pages the whole time and the ending is just... WAH!! Lots of action and twists and turns, with a great magic system and world building. I really enjoyed it... all the way up to five stars! 

It has lots of action, as mentioned, and much political intrigue and all that good stuff, but it does include a romance too... enemies to lovers... but with low spice. It was perfect level for me. So good!

Thank you to Netgalley for the early review copy. This book will be released on April 7! Look for it!
