A stunning masterpiece. Melding history and fantasy into an unforgettable story.

I can not get over just how much I have come to love this story! There is so much history in this story that I was shocked by how well the author was able to mingle such a rich fantasy aspect to the story as well.

This story has so much to captivate the imagination, magic, romance, battles, plots, alliances, and true history! Brandes has created such a world of Colors that makes me believe color speak is possible. I am so impressed I am in a sort of color-daze.

The bottom line, if you enjoy YA Fantasy you will fall in LOVE with this story. If you enjoy historical books but haven't been brave enough to give the fantasy genre a try yet...I have a feeling you will enjoy this one. So be brave, give it a try...You may just fall in love with a new author!

I received a complimentary copy of Fawkes from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

I received this book as an advanced copy.
I was initially intrigued because the description listed it as Jane Austen meets X-Men and I'd have to say that's pretty accurate. I randomly find myself thinking about it because I feel like I don't often read too many historical fantasy novels in the YA genre. Themes are similar to those found in many other YA texts but not in a tired, over done way. Looking forward to reading the next one.
