The Obsidian Tower

I really enjoyed this! This is the only book I have read by this author but, I plan to change that.

Ryx lives with her Grandmother in Gloamingard. Ryx has faulty magic that kills anyone or anything she touches. Her Grandmother is a powerful mage, so she can still touch Ryx without it killing her. That is why Gloamingard is the safest place for her to be.
Gloamingard Castle has a Black Tower. No one but her Grandmother knows what is in there. All anyone knows is that it must be guarded. It must stay closed. It has been that way for thousands of years.
With people arriving from other countries for peace talks, it is even more imperative to guard the Black Tower.

This is fast-paced, full of political intrigue, and packed with interesting magic. I can't wait for the next one.

I received a copy from Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
