Cast in Firelight by Dana Swift --> Restarting February 1st, 2021

[Aly]

Adraa is the royal heir of Belwar, a talented witch on the cusp of taking her royal ceremony test, and a girl who just wants to prove her worth to her people.

Jatin is the royal heir to Naupure, a competitive wizard who's mastered all nine colors of magic, and a boy anxious to return home for the first time since he was a child.

Together, their arranged marriage will unite two of Wickery's most powerful kingdoms. But after years of rivalry from afar, Adraa and Jatin only agree on one thing: their reunion will be anything but sweet.

Only, destiny has other plans and with the criminal underbelly of Belwar suddenly making a move for control, their paths cross...and neither realizes who the other is, adopting separate secret identities instead.

Between dodging deathly spells and keeping their true selves hidden, the pair must learn to put their trust in the other if either is to uncover the real threat. Now Wickery's fate is in the hands of rivals..? Fiancées..? Partners..? Whatever they are, it's complicated and bound for greatness or destruction.

[Kelly]

Are you still planning on reading it Aly? I'm going to start tomorrow I think :)

[Aly]

Yes, I'm hoping to get to it this weekend also

[Aly]

ch 8 (view spoiler)[ I'm liking this so far. The different kinds of magic and colors are cool. It's weird that Adraa and Jatin only met once then he was sent away for 9 years. But their meeting where they didn't recognize each other was cute (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 20 (view spoiler)[ It's cute that Jatin was so happy to find out who Adraa really was and he's trying to change her opinion of him, but she's going to be pissed when she finds out.
I wonder if the bad guy is Jatin's uncle? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 28 (view spoiler)[ Is it really Jatin's dad?? I have a hard time with that, but if it is that's a horrible betrayal. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

finished (view spoiler)[ Okay, glad it was Moolek and not Jatin's dad. I'm super happy Adraa and Jatin are in love and together, though now she has to convince the kingdoms she isn't a bad person and they have a war. (hide spoiler)]
I really liked this!

[Kelly]

Nice! I should be able to start soon.

[Aly]

I hope you like it, I thought it was fun

[Kelly]

Finally getting to this book! I'm sorry for being late :(

[Aly]

That's okay! I really liked it and I hope you do too

(view spoiler)[I'm really liking it too. And I feel like magic systems in ya are often the same thing recycled but the orbs and different colors are pretty cool. I loved how they didn't recognize each other and how he swapped places with his guard (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Yes I thought that was cute

[Kelly]

40% - (view spoiler)[This is taking me so long to read this book it's ridiculous. It's not bad just not addictive at least to me but I have to finish it. It felt a little weird to see her in a pit fight. Idk I didn't think she had enough power or control but apparently she does. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Awh, sorry you aren't feeling engaged. As they bond to find who the bad guy is, I think it gets cuter

[Kelly]

It's alright but I think I'll enjoy it more once they know who the other is :)

[Kelly]

Aly wrote: "ch 20 "

(view spoiler)[Ahah yes it was cute. I just hope he'll tell her soon but my bet is that she'll find out on her own. As for the bad guys, I feel like we haven't really met a lot of people so Idk (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I'm not sure but if he is guilty I'm going to be so mad at him. (hide spoiler)]

I really liked this!"

I really liked it too :) I just wish this was a standalone . (view spoiler)[I'm glad it wasn't Jatin's dad after all. I didn't see the way the firelight would be used coming! Getting a volcano in eruption, that's crazy. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Oh, glad you liked it! I agree, it could have easily been a standalone.

Starting this now!

[Alaina]

22%: (view spoiler)[It's so cute that he thought she was cute when he didn't know who she was.. and she had some sort of feelings toward the guy carrying her even though she had no idea who he was. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

48%: (view spoiler)[I'm a bit bored.. so I'm hoping things pick up. I will admit that these two are still cute though. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

76%: (view spoiler)[Oh man, okay things are getting interesting and I'm wondering what's going to happen when she talks to them. Also I'm worried about what actually went down between those two with her sister being there. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[Well, it's not going to be easy for them but I am glad that they are together. I'm definitely excited for the next book after that ending. (hide spoiler)]
