Illusionary by Zoraida Córdova

The romance in this book is what really hooked me, because the chemistry between the main characters was quite lovely. I had a difficult time putting this story down because I simply needed a satisfactory conclusion (or, more accurately, I needed the romance to fully develop). The plot was also creative and intriguing, bringing a neat yet emotionally resonant end to the series. The author really did a nice job explaining Ren’s (the protagonist’s) emotions throughout the book. That being said, I would have liked to see a little bit more of her character growth towards the end of the book. Throughout both Incendiary and Illusionary Ren runs from group to group, always feeling like she doesn’t belong. Instead of confronting this problem, at the end of the book she tries to run away again, which to me felt unsatisfactory. 


The book is also a bit intense at times, with scenes of violence and torture, so I recommend readers take that into account. That being said, I really did enjoy Incendiary, and would recommend it to anyone who loves YA fantasy and romance novels.
