YA Fantasy lovers, do I have the book for you! J Elle’s newest novel House of Marionne comes out on August 29th and it is definitely a book you don’t want to miss! Seventeen-year-old Quell has lived her entire life on the run. She and her mother have fled from city to city in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through Quell’s veins. Until someone discovers her dark secret. To hide from the assassin hunting her and keep her mother out of harm’s way, Quell reluctantly inducts into a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order that she never knew existed. If she can pass their three rites of membership, mastering their proper form of magic, she’ll be able to secretly bury her forbidden magic forever. If caught, she will be killed. But becoming the perfect debutante is a lot harder than Quell imagined, especially when there’s more than tutoring happening with Jordan, her brooding mentor and assassin-in-training. When Quell uncovers the deadly lengths the Order will go to defend its wealth and power, she’s forced to choose: Embrace the dark magic she’s been running from her entire life, or risk losing everything, and everyone, she’s grown to love. Still, she fears the most formidable monster she’ll have to face is the one inside. I really appreciated the world-building in this book and found myself wanting to keep reading or try and figure out what the heck was going on and how the different plot points were connected. And then I got to the last chapter and holy goodness EVERYTHING MADE SENSE AND I LITERALLY GASPED 3 TIMES WHILE READING. But aside from the fantastic plot, I really enjoyed Quell as a character and her journey was really great to read about. I also loved the supporting cast of characters and how they rounded out and connected to certain plot points. I am very excited to see what will happen in the next book and highly recommend this book for all YA Fantasy lovers! *I received an ARC from Penguin Teen in exchange for my honest opinion.
