Flicker and Mist by Mary G. Thompson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Thanks to the publisher for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This doesn't influence my opinion and review of this book


I wasn't too sure what to expect going into Flicker and Mist but I didn't expect to fall very much in love with it like I did. I've read many YA fantasy but I can never get tired of finding awesome ones such as this.
Myra is an extremely funny and lovable character. The idea of the Flickerkin was brilliant and got my interest from the very beginning. It has a great set of character's that I can't help but love. Porti the steadfast friend, Caster the perfect hero, Nolan the dark rebel, Hoof a great companion (Though she's an animal).
The love triangle between Caster and Myra and Nolan is very sweet and adorable, I liked seeing them relate with each other. But I'm on Team Caster, I can't get tired of shipping those two together.
The worldbuilding is quite impressive and well put together. It was easy to understand the dynamics of Lefties, Plats, Flickerkin, Flicker Men and The Waters. Mary G. Thompson weaved a very intriguing world that I'm very much in love with.
Everything is well written especially the display of powers, the narration was never lost on me and I never got bored. The ending had surprising twists and turn that shocked me, but it left me quite excited for future installments in the series.
There is mystery, adventure, romance, powers, friendships and an unforgettable heroine.
Flicker and Mist is one book that pleasantly surprised me and I definitely hope for more books from this author. I recommend this to lovers of YA Fantasy and anyone hoping for a good time.
P.S: The beautiful cover has a significance that will be understood at a later point in the book.
