Colorless (Colorless #1) by Rita Stradling - Starting August 24th 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

In Domengrad, there are rules all must live by: Fear the Gods. Worship the Magicians. Forsake the Iconoclasts.

To Annabelle Klein, the rules laid down by the Magicians are the mere ramblings of stuffy old men. As far as she’s concerned, the historic Iconoclasts, heretics who nearly destroyed the Magicians so long ago, are nothing but myth. She has much more important matters to worry about.

Heiress to a manor mortgaged down to its candlesticks and betrothed to her loathsome cousin, sixteen-year-old Annabelle doubts the gods could forsake her more.

Then Annabelle is informed of her parents’ sudden and simultaneous deaths, and all of the pigment drips out of her skin and hair, leaving her colorless. Within moments, Annabelle is invisible and forgotten by all who know her.

Living like a wraith in her own home, Annabelle discovers that to regain her color she must solve the mystery behind her parents’ murders and her strange transformation.

Meanwhile, hundreds of the Magicians’ monks, with their all-black eyes and conjoined minds, have usurped control of Annabelle’s family manor. An Iconoclast is rumored to be about—a person who they claim goes unseen, unheard, and lost to memory, yet is the greatest threat to all of Domengrad. For the first time in a hundred years, the monks plan to unleash the dire wolves of old.

Their only target: Annabelle.

Little late but going to start this now :)
Also took me a while to find this topic-finally realised the book is spelled Colorless instead of Colourless, like I'd spell it as a British person!

Well, you know... Silly spelling differences.

I just finished the book yesterday, but I'll start adding comments now.

24% (view spoiler)[ Not sure about this /: I'm really confused. Does Dylan realise only he can see Annabelle? He tells the monks he knows of no daughter which indicates he does but then goes on about how no one else seems to be mentioning her and it's weird. It's contradictory. Annabelle is pretty bland as a character. I was hoping to know a bit more now I'm a quarter in but I don't even feel like the story has really started yet. (hide spoiler)]

10% (view spoiler)[ So she just ... disappeared? No color, no visibility to others? (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

30% (view spoiler)[ I can't decide if this is supposed to be a love triangle or not. There's the stable boy who is attracted to her and vice versa.
And there is the cousin who supposedly liked her and was planning on marrying her but forgot she even existed. Is it really a triangle if the one character forgot she existed? (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

60% (view spoiler)[ We're slowly uncovering all the facts. Those monks are seriously creepy. And what's so wrong with being "invisible"
anyway? (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

90% (view spoiler)[ So ... the brothers are werewolves, kind of? The gods must really fear her if they sent those creatures after her. (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

100% (view spoiler)[ The idea of this book was pretty cool. It got a little stereotypical, but I liked it. The fact that her weird invisibility was actually a superpower was cool. I'm not sure where the series is going from here, but I'm curious. (hide spoiler)]
