NEWSOUL
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.
NOSOUL
Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
HEART
Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?
Jodi Meadows expertly weaves soul-deep romance, fantasy, and danger into an extraordinary tale of new life.

When I first read the description and saw the cover for this one, I wasn't quite sure it was for me. Don't get me wrong, it sounds interesting and looks pretty, but it also sounds like it has the potential to be a little too saccharine for my tastes. But then I started reading some good reviews, and some of them are from people who dislike saccharine as much as I do, so I slowly came around and started looking forward to this one. Then I started reading some not-so-good reviews, and now I just don't know what to think...
How 'bout you? Anyone read this, or wishlisting it?
What's on your wishlist?
I like the idea of this book and the world it's set in - a world where it's almost taken for granted souls are reincarnated and keep their memories! The mystery of why Ana is a new soul also intrigues me. I think I might be adding this to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book and I'm all sorts of in love with the cover. I know we shouldn't judge books by their covers but this one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great and the cover is so lovely. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteI've read it and it is AWESOME. Not saccharine in the least. So lust after it with no compromise :)
