4.75⭐️ - A world filled with tarot based magic restricted to the elite - a crafter who may change the world!
Clara has lost almost everything in her life; her family, her freedom, her friends. The one thing she has left is her power to create the powerful tarot cards wielded by the elite casters in her nation, a talent freely abused by the warden of the prison she has found her self in. When this illegal crafting causes her to be brought in front of Prince Kaelis, youngest heir to the throne and head of Arcana Academy, she finds herself with the choice of supporting his goals, or returning to dungeons.
This was an absolutely phenomenal piece of world building, with the wonderful card based magic system and symbology working so well. There's an excellent cast of characters, from Clara's former underworld friends, to her allies in the Academy, and we get so many twisting paths of intrigue and questions of loyalty. I was absolutely hooked and I can't wait to see where Kova takes the story going forward!
