I really enjoyed this book, an intriguing story.
I was held from the get go, very well written, and a very good take on magic.
I will be looking for the second in this series ASAP.

Vivatera had an intriguing synopsis. The actual story, however, fell flat. The story is the death of the king and his daughters have magic that could save the kingdom. The character Naomi meets this guy for ten minutes then takes off with him and falls for him and etc. Yes, I completely trust any man I've spoken to for at least ten minutes. Seriously? Just not believable enough for me. The story could have been great if it were more put together. Unfortunately, I had no connection with this story. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not a huge fantasy fan (and I'm way beyond YA age), but this was a fun quest story thoughtfully told. Good writing and plenty of action with solid character building. I recommend this imaginative book to people that like a story.

I found this book easy to get into, the writing style made it simple to lose yourself in the world.
I wan't too fond of the characters, we just didn't gel, I struggled to feel for them, which did take away from the books overall rating.
Well written and an engaging, original idea.
